A group of adults and children stand together outdoors at night holding lit candles during a vigil. Several wear white ribbons pinned to their coats. Their expressions are solemn, and strings of small lights glow softly in the dark background.

About The Lost Children Of Tuam

Amateur historian Catherine Corless (Monica Dolan) begins researching a former institution for unmarried mothers and their children in rural Ireland and uncovers a shocking hidden history of neglect and loss. Faced with the deafening silence of church and state, she embarks on a campaign for justice, confronting deep wounds that continue to shape Ireland today.

Based on the true story and featuring a powerful performance from BAFTA winner Monica Dolan (Mr Bates vs The Post Office), The Lost Children Of Tuam is a deeply moving portrait of one woman’s fight for justice.

  2. A close-up profile shot of two people facing each other in intimate, dim lighting. On the left, a young-ish man with tousled reddish-brown hair, an earring, and a beard, wearing a blue collared shirt, gazes intently at the woman across from him. On the right, a fortysomething woman with wavy blonde hair, winged eyeliner, dark lipstick, and dark manicured nails wearing a burgundy latex or vinyl garment touches her fingers to her chin as she looks back at him with a slight smile. The background is a soft, blurred gradient of blue and lavender tones, suggesting a nightclub or party atmosphere.
