This four part documentary series tells the inspiring stories of four dynamic members of an entirely new generation of Irish who landed on America in the 1990s and who have since excelled in diverse, if not unusual fields.

Now in their late 30s, they are the confident, restless, ambitious children who came of age in the era of economic boom and peace talks that launched a new Ireland onto the international stage. They are the first generation to fly by choice, are better educated than any immigrant in history, and have rapidly reached higher levels of success than earlier generations, or indeed, most Americans themselves.

They were born in Ireland, but they were made in America.
