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. Close-up profile of an older man in a dark jacket and open-collared white shirt, standing in front of a barred window. Warm light falls across his deeply lined face while the rest of the scene stays in shadow.

  3. A shirtless, bloodied young man leans exhausted against a large leather punching bag, resting his forehead against it with eyes closed and mouth open, breathing heavily. His hand is wrapped in a white boxing hand wrap stained with blood, gripping the edge of the bag. Streaks of blood run down his cheek, neck, chest, and torso. The background is softly blurred, suggesting a dim gym or boxing training space.
