The Republic, a main street in the middle of the city. Confronted by a brutal real estate operation, all these stories come into play again.Read More »

This is a documentary upon which The Magdalene Sisters by Peter Mullan was made. It shows testimonies of Martha Cooney, Christina Mulcahy and the others. Basically, if you have seen the movie there is nothing new or different here, except maybe for the experience of seeing and getting a bit closer to real life victims of the asylums. The documentary was made in 1998. for Channel Four and was a part of Testimony films series.

The whole experience of watching comes very closely to the feeling everyone probably had when they read that last asylum was shut down in 1996 at the end of the movie. It just makes it closer to you.Read More »
