Stolen
2023
Stolen (2023) is a documentary directed by Margo Harkin.
It tells the story of how over 80,000 unmarried mothers came to be incarcerated in mother & baby homes in Ireland between 1922 and 1998. The homes were run by nuns.
Many of the women were subsequently separated from their babies. Babies were adopted in Ireland as well as abroad. Some became foster children and worked as farm labourers from the age of 6. As many as 9,000 of the babies died.
