Walking the Labyrinth is a powerful documentary that takes the viewer on a journey of self­ discovery with Susan. A survivor of Bessborough Mother and Baby Home, Susan discusses the lasting effects that institutionalized systems have on those who have been touched by them. She shares her personal experience of being adopted at two weeks old and how the adoption system in Ireland is designed to remove all agency from the adopted person, including the ability to discover any other family members.

On a dark and rainy day, Roisin stands alone looking at her reflection in her bedroom mirror. Her attention is taken by a dark pink dress that hangs in her wardrobe, reminding her of the day she spent in her favourite local charity shop with her favourite person, Aunty Aine. They spent the day trying on the whackiest of dresses and the strangest of hats, but it soon became clear that this was one of her auntie's last good days.
