Film screening of The Lost Children of Tuam, directed by Frank Berry, at Watershed.
The Lost Children of Tuam is screening at Watershed this week, with several sessions running from Wednesday 14 October through to Sunday 18 October. Directed by Frank Berry, it's a film based on a true story about Catherine Corless, an amateur historian in rural Ireland who uncovers a shocking hidden history of loss at a former institution for unmarried mothers and their children.
Corless's painstaking investigation puts her in conflict with the Church, the State and the local town, exposing a buried chapter of Ireland's past. The film is presented as a deeply moving portrait of one woman's fight for justice, and Variety described it as 'a stirring reflection of a buried tragedy'. It's the kind of story that stays with you long after the credits roll, and seeing it in a cinema rather than at home gives it the space it deserves.
