<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><b>- WINNER: Best Irish Film, Galway Film Fleadh -&nbsp;</b></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><b>- OFFICIAL SELECTION: Toronto International Film Festival -</b>&nbsp;</p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">From producer Liam Neeson, this powerful true story of an amateur historian’s tenacious pursuit of truth won the Best Irish Film award at this year’s Galway Film Fleadh.</p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">The film follows Catherine Corless (BAFTA-winner Monica Dolan, Days of the Bagnold Summer) as she begins researching “Bon Secours Mother and Baby Home”, a former institution for unmarried mothers and their children in Tuam, County Galway.</p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">Catherine soon uncovers one of the darkest chapters in modern Irish history, a long-buried story of neglect and loss. Faced with deafening silence from the church and state, she embarks on a campaign for justice, confronting deep wounds that continue to shape Ireland today.</p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">Monica Dolan turns in a phenomenally convincing performance as Corless, worthy of her compassionate, intelligent real-life counterpart. The Lost Children of Tuam is a moving testimony to the power of perseverance, and a reminder that change can begin with one person.</p>BiographyPT1H24MM2026-11-05IEen
