Stolen: The story of how women who had the misfortune to fall pregnant ‘out of wedlock’ were treated in an Ireland dominated by the Catholic Church.

Margo Harkin’s devastating yet essential documentary explores the dark history of Ireland’s mother-and-baby homes, as well as the broader mistreatment of women and children in Catholic Ireland. From recounting the shocking secrets uncovered in Tuam by local historian Catherine Corless, to talking to those directly impacted by forced adoptions, this is a powerful testament to the people impacted by institutional cruelty.
