'Kitty's Theme' is the soundtrack for the Short Documentary, KITTY: THE SAINT OF THE SLUMS.  The music has been composed by Irish-Traditional Musician & Playwright, David Dunlop.  The lyrics have been adapted by Connor Richmond, who co-directed & produced the project.  The film is a poetic and visionary Documentary, which unearths the Life, Labour and Legacy of Irish-migrant and Liverpool legend, Kitty Wilkinson.  Speaking directly to the Author of ‘The Life of Kitty Wilkinson’, Michael Kelly, Kitty’s Great Great Great Niece, Rev. Elizabeth Storey, and Liverpool-Irish Historian, Greg Quiery.  We follow Kitty’s reverential journey from her humble beginning in Ireland, to the cobbled streets of Liverpool town.  Against all odds, and against conditions of Migration, Poverty and Disease, we investigate the actual root of how and why Kitty’s work consequently revolutionized and transformed UK healthcare, forever.  The lady who demonstrated that cleanliness was a weapon against Disease; the pioneer who helped to wipe out Cholera once and for all in Liverpool; and the originator of the UK’s first ever Washhouse & Public Baths.  This is the Poor Helper of the Poor; the People’s Patron; this is Kitty: The Saint of the Slums.
The film has been selected to appear in the Liverpool-Irish Festival in October 2014.
