Walking the Labyrinth

This was the first part of a double-header from RTS Republic of Ireland; the second, “How to get your short film made”, offered expert advice from Virgin Media and RTÉ executives.

Walking the Labyrinth, made with a crew of Doherty’s fellow students at Dundalk Institute of Technology’s Film and Television Production course, tells the story of artist Susan Farrelly, who was born in the Bessborough mother and baby home, which, like others in Ireland, carried out forced adoptions.
