The experiences of Magdalene women and the children born in Mother & Baby Homes might still be shrouded in secrecy, if not for the work of Justice For Magdalenes, an organisation who have waged an extraordinary campaign on behalf of the survivors of Irish institutions.

From early investigations into exhumations at High Park Magdalene Laundry, to revealing the complicity of the State, this film charts the key legal and political battles of these determined activists. From addressing the United Nations to holding the Irish government to account, they ensured that the abuse of survivors will never be forgotten.
