Between 1922 and 1996 10,000+ girls and women were imprisoned in Ireland – unmarried mothers, daughters of unmarried mothers, those who were considered “promiscuous” or a burden on their families or the State, those who had been sexually abused, or had grown up in Catholic or State ‘care’. These Magdalene women and the children of the Mother & Baby Homes might still be shrouded in secrecy and shame, if not for the work of Justice For Magdalenes. This tiny group of women lawyers, academics and volunteers have together waged an extraordinary battle on behalf of the survivors of Irish institutions. This documentary tells their story.
