The 8th documentary: 'Everywhere you looked there were women in tears'

A new film looks behind the scenes on  the campaign around the vote to overturn Ireland's constitutional ban on abortion 

The 8th is a documentary on the vote in Ireland in 2018  to remove the ban on abortion from the constitution. 

Maeve O’Boyle can still vividly remember the emotional experience of being in Dublin Castle as the results of the referendum to repeal the 8th amendment came through.

It was the day after referendum day and while she was there to document the results, it was impressible not to be moved by what was unfolding around her.
