Redacted Lives is a six-part documentary series from The Journal that tells the real story of mother and baby homes in Ireland; from what happened within; to how the State continues to deny survivors access to information, proper redress and ownership of their true stories. Finally, they get to speak in their own words, in their own voices. New episode every Thursday for six weeks. Presented by Órla Ryan, produced by Nicky Ryan with executive producer Sinéad O’Carroll.
