Whispering Hope: The women who suffered
After watching the 2002 film The Magdalene Sisters, a young Irish film maker called Steven O'Riordan wanted to meet some of the women who were forced to work in the Irish laundries, which ran like workhouses.
Kathleen Legg was one of the women who shared her story with Steven - he made a documentary about the laundries in Ireland and has now written a book about five of the women who suffered.
Kathleen and Steven join Fiona to talk about the book Whispering Hope which is out on Thursday.
