A powerful tribute to the relentless search for truth!
The Irish premiere for The Lost Children of Tuam, starring Monica Dolan, Andrew Bennett and Ian McElhinney took place on Friday (18th September) in Dublin.
Director Frank Berry, producer Liam Neeson, Catherine Corless and the cast were all in attendance as they walked the red carpet at The Light House Cinema, Smithfield.
The film tells the real-life story of how, whilst researching the Bon Secours Mother and Baby Home in Tuam, County Galway, for a local historical society, history enthusiast Catherine Corless uncovered the devastating possibility that as many as 796 children had been buried in unmarked graves on the property.

The discovery began a campaign for justice for both victims and survivors of the home that has had a lasting impact on Ireland today.
Directed by Frank Berry (Michael Inside), and written by Rebecca Lenkiewicz (The Salt Path), the film is based on The New York Times article by Dan Barry.
Liam Neeson, who optioned the rights to the New York Times article, is producer for El Paso Films, along with Jules Daly for Big Red Films, Chelsea Morgan Hoffmann, Ed Guiney and Andrew Lowe for Oscar-winning Element Pictures and Martina Niland for Port Pictures.
