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.

  1. A young woman with wind-tossed, curly reddish-brown hair stands outdoors in period dress — a cream blouse with a tied neck scarf under a dark waistcoat. Her arm is extended outward as she looks off to the side with a startled or urgent expression, her mouth slightly open. Behind her, a soft-focus landscape of rolling green and gold hills stretches under a pale, overcast sky.

  3. A young Indian man with curly dark hair and a mustache laughs joyfully while riding a horse-drawn sled or cart through falling snow on a dirt road. He wears a dark speckled wool coat dusted with snow, a mustard-yellow scarf and sweater, and olive gloves, gripping the reins. Bare trees and dry autumn brush line the road on the left, while the right side opens to a hazy, pale sky with a few sparse evergreen trees in the distance.
