Ruth Wilson and Joe Murtagh on new series ‘The Woman in the Wall’

“The Woman in the Wall” is a fictional crime series set against the backdrop of the Magdalene Laundries, former Irish institutions run by Catholic nuns that kept thousands of women and girls against their will to perform forced labor. Actor Ruth Wilson and showrunner Joe Murtagh join Washington Post Live to discuss the psychological thriller and how it was inspired by real-life stories of historical abuse.
