Committee member Felix Molski has been interviewed by the Irish filmmaker Russ Ryan.
Russ contacted Kosciuszko Heritage at the end of June to find out more about Sir Paul Edmund Strzelecki, whose life-story had captivated him. He was particularly intrigued by Strzelecki’s humanitarian activities during the Great Famine in Ireland, including in the filmmaker’s home town of Ballina.
Felix, the author of the book The Best of Human Nature, and the lead producer of the documentary P. E. de Strzelecki’s Humanitarian Deeds in Ireland, is a world expert on Sir P. E. Strzelecki and his role in the Great Famine.
Filming took place on July 15, lasting from around 10 am until the late afternoon. Ernestyna Skurjat-Kozek, the Chair of Kosciuszko Heritage, and Andrzej Kozek, a committee member, were also present.
