About Testimony
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. Through unflinching honesty, Testimony raises urgent questions about justice and accountability. It demands access to records, transparency, and the right for survivors to pursue legal action against church and state institutions. Ultimately, the film is a tribute to their resilience, a rallying cry for justice, and a stark reminder of the cost of silence.
