The Lost Children of Tuam

Directed by Frank Berry and written by Rebecca Lenkiewicz, the film is based on The New York Times article ‘The Lost Children of Tuam’ by Dan Barry, published in 2017. Focusing on history enthusiast Catherine Corless (Monica Dolan), who whilst researching the Bon Secours Mother and Baby Home in Tuam, County Galway, for a local historical society, uncovered a devastating possibility that as many as 796 children had been buried in unmarked graves on the property. The discovery rallied a campaign for justice for both victims and survivors of the home. Excavation of the mass grave began in the summer of 2025.
