TESTIMONY is a profoundly moving documentary that chronicles the fight for justice by survivors of Ireland's Magdalene Laundries and Mother and Baby Homes. It captures the determination of these women, supported by the advocacy group Justice for Magdalenes (JFM), to hold the Irish government accountable for decades of institutional abuse. From grassroots campaigning to delivering powerful testimony at the United Nations, their journey is a testament to the strength of collective action and the enduring impact of these dark chapters in Irish history.

The shocking story has been dramatised in films such as Philomena (2013) and Small Things Like These (2024) but it needed telling in documentary form, and Testimony does that compellingly. Go to Full Review Will Penn Film Ireland Magazine Dec 3
The use of home recordings, news clips, propaganda footage, and reenactments all paint a vivid picture of the withholding and destruction of evidence by the Church and state. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
