This is the road we're on. None of us created
this road. This road was here when we were
born' Roseleen Walsh, internee and writer
The Road of Women follows the path of Irish
women political prisoners, many of whose voices
have never before been recorded. Their stories
' of arrest, imprisonment, abuse, campaigning,
and freedom ' document Irish women's ongoing
struggles for personal and political freedom,
social justice, human rights and prison reform.
Speaking to anyone interested in human rights,
The Road of Women is an important testimony
to political activism.
Though there have been books written about
Irish women republican prisoners, this may
well be the first documentary where women
prisoners are the exclusive focus-The Irish
Voice
