The RTÉ Player team share their top picks to watch on RTÉ Player this week.
Second Chance to Watch:
Would you Believe? The Tuam Babies
RTÉ Player is offering viewers a second chance to watch Would You Believe? Tuam Babies. The programme follows local historian Catherine Corless as she attempts to discover the truth behind the Tuam Mother and Baby home.
Catherine tracks down some of those who were born in the Home to try and gain a better understanding of their lives and the stigma surrounding their births.
Together with UCD historian, Lyndsey Earner-Byrne, author of Mother and Child: Maternity and Child Welfare in Ireland, 1920s-1960s, Catherine fight to unearth the truth and prove that officials in Ireland knew of the astounding infant mortality rate within the home. Watch now on RTÉ Player.
What’s Trending?
RTÉ One's documentary Women on Walls attempts to put the spotlight on female leaders and inspire the next generation of working women.
The documentary pays special attention to female leaders in Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths (STEM) whose portraits are being painted and hung in Academy House, Dawson Street for the first time in the institution’s 230-year history.
The cameras carefully follow the artists throughout the project to find the link between art, society and gender representation.
