    paper Little Known Legends - Audio Series

    Little Known Legends is a limited series podcast adapted from Beto O’Byrne’s play, “The Corrido of the San Patricios”. It tells the story of the St. Patrick’s Battalion (Los San Patricios) - a group of mostly Irish immigrants who defect from the US Army to fight for Mexico during the Mexican American War. An epic tale taking us across oceans, deserts and into the heart of one of the most unjust wars in US History, Little Known Legends uses this epic story to ask pressing questions around immigration, citizenship, and what happens when people follow their conscience to actively disrupt political systems.
