Land Without God

2019

Mannix Flynn (b. 1957) is an Irish writer, playwright and former politician who was institutionalised as a child.

In 2019, Flynn released a documentary - Land Without God - in which he meets with generations of his family who have had their own harrowing experiences in both religious and state run institutions.

As Tara Brady of the Irish Times comments in her review of Land Without God (18 October 2019), "the family's low socio-economic status was a huge factor in their victimisation by church and state".

Children and young people in social care, and those who have left, are often subject to stigmatisation and discrimination. Being stigmatised and discriminated against can impact negatively on mental health and wellbeing not only during the care experience but often for many years after too. The project aims to contribute towards changing community attitudes towards care experienced people as a group. See glossary HERE
