Overview

For decades, Catholic Ireland locked its children into institutions if they were conceived out of wedlock - punishment for the sinning mothers. Revealing the children's perspectives, and including powerful archive, this documentary offers a painful yet cathartic insight into the cruel business of Mother and Baby Homes.
