Through riveting first person testimony Finné recounts intimate stories of triumphs and traumas, of Davids and Goliaths, of dogged resilience and human frailties.

“It is only through searing personal testimony that we gain real insight into the human story behind the official accounts of these life-changing events” says Magamedia’s Paddy Hayes, producer and writer-director of three of the eight episodes.

“Finné allows each individual the time and the freedom to tell their raw and powerful stories in their own words.”
