States of Fear
States of Fear tells the extraordinary story of Ireland's industrial schools, a vast system in which tens of thousands of Irish children were imprisoned during this century. Mistakenly called orphanages, the schools were run by Catholic religious orders but funded by the State. Through the experience of some who grew up in these institutions, the documentary unfolds an appalling catalogue of sexual and physical abuse suffered by many of the children within this system. Through previously uncovered records, it also reveals a level of collusion and cover-up which deeply convulsed Irish society when the documentary was shown, and forced the Irish Government to apologize on behalf of the State to the victims of this savage system.
