Uncovering a Dark Chapter in Ireland's History on Screen The Lost Children of Tuam, a forthcoming film produced by Liam Neeson and directed by Frank Berry, brings attention to one of Ireland's most painful historical chapters: the secret mass burial of hundreds of children at the Bon Secours Mother and Baby Home in Tuam.
This story has all the hallmarks of a long buried injustice that refuses to stay buried – and serves as a grim reminder that institutions can perpetuate harm against vulnerable populations, even today.
Monica Dolan's portrayal of Catherine Corless, a history enthusiast who uncovered the devastating truth about the Tuam home, is likely to be one of the film's standout performances.
