🎥 THE LOST CHILDREN OF TUAM (feature film)

"We're honoured to host the World Premiere of Frank Berry's The Lost Children of Tuam. When amateur historian Catherine Corless begins examining records from a former Mother and Baby Home in Tuam, Co. Galway, she stumbles upon evidence pointing towards a deeply troubling past. Refusing to let the questions go, she embarks on a painstaking investigation, putting her in conflict with the Church, State, and local town.

As official resistance mounts, and unsettling discoveries emerge, her determination challenges powerful institutions, exposing a hidden chapter of Ireland's past that many would rather keep hidden. From the award-winning team of director Frank Berry, writer Rebecca Lenkiewicz, Element Pictures, Big Red Films, El Paso Pictures and Port Pictures."
