A synopsis for the film reads: “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.”

They continue: “Central to the narrative is JFM’s tireless campaign for justice. Their efforts gain momentum following exhumations at High Park, where mass graves revealed the indignities suffered by Magdalene women even in death. The fight reaches its pinnacle when survivors, with JFM’s support, deliver their testimony to the UN Committee Against Torture.

“Their accounts of forced labour, incarceration, and abuse compels the UN to demand comprehensive investigations and reparations. Yet, even as the international spotlight intensifies, the Irish government’s responses are marred by dismissiveness and exclusion from redress. These denials underscore the persistent failure to fully confront the atrocities.”

Testimony hits Irish cinemas on November 21st.
