Part 1/9:
The Shadows of the Magdalene: A Deep Dive into Redemption and Resilience
Set against the backdrop of 1964, the film intricately weaves the harrowing story of women stigmatized and marginalized by society. Based on the historical realities of the Magdalene Asylums, where “fallen” women—those who fell prey to societal judgments often due to their gender—were sent for so-called redemption, the narrative reveals the grim truths concealed beneath the guise of salvation.
