The 8th traces Ireland's campaign to remove the 8th Amendment - a constitutional ban on abortion. It shows the country's transformation from a conservative state in thrall to the Catholic church to a more liberal, secular society. Voices are heard from both sides of the debate, but the primary focus is on the dynamic female leaders of the pro-choice campaign. This dramatic story is underscored by a vivid exploration of the wrenching failures that led to this defining moment.​ An urgent narrative, a cautionary tale and a roadmap for progressive reforms in an era where authoritarianism is on the rise and reproductive rights are threatened around the world.
