Synopsis
Every year, large numbers of abortion seekers from Northern Ireland and the Republic travel to clinics on the British mainland to seek a safe and legal abortion denied them on their own turf. They come and go in secret, like being ‘on the run’, bearing a terrible burden of shame for two societies heavily influenced by Christian fundamentalism, Catholic and Protestant. Ireland’s Hidden Diaspora: The Abortion Trail and the Making of a London-Irish Underground, 1980-2000 unmasks the hidden story of London-Irish women who supported abortion seekers before, during and after their lonely and often frightening journey across the Irish Sea.
