Release of The Lost Children of Tuam film

Overview

The film ‘The Lost Children of Tuam’ was released in Irish cinemas on September 25. Directed by Frank Berry and produced by Liam Neeson, the film follows the campaign of historian Catherine Corless to uncover the truth regarding the deaths and burials of hundreds of children at the former Tuam Mother and Baby Home.

Corless’s research into the St Mary’s institution has led to ongoing excavations at a site believed to contain the remains of 796 infants who died between 1925 and 1961. Since work began last year, an international team of forensic archaeologists has identified the skeletal remains of 99 babies and children.

The film addresses historical abuse and neglect involving the Bon Secours order. Producer Liam Neeson stated he felt an obligation to use his platform to give a voice to the deceased children and seek accountability for the events.
