TESTIMONY

Special Features: North American Premiere

This profoundly moving documentary from award-winning director Aoife Kelleher chronicles the collective fight for justice by survivors of Ireland’s Magdalene Laundries and Mother and Baby Homes. With unflinching honesty, the film raises urgent questions about accountability and the enduring impact of these dark chapters in Irish history. Following the survivors’ work from grassroots campaigning to delivering powerful testimony at the United Nations, the film 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. It calls for transparency, access to records and the right for survivors to pursue legal action against church and state institutions. The film is a tribute to their resilience, a rallying cry for justice and a stark reminder of the cost of silence. But above all, TESTIMONY is a call to action, urging society to reckon with its complicity and ensure such abuses are never repeated.
