The Lost Children of Tuam Finally Seen | Ireland News

A haunting new Irish film, “The Lost Children of Tuam,” brings to light a buried tragedy: the discovery of a mass grave containing 796 children who died at a mother and baby home between 1925 and 1961. Directed by Frank Berry and produced by Liam Neeson, the film stars Monica Dolan as historian Catherine Corless, whose groundbreaking research uncovered the grim reality of these institutions. Already honored with Best Irish Film at Galway Film Fleadh, the film coincides with ongoing excavations that have recovered 99 children’s remains—likely many more still buried in a septic tank. For survivors and families like Anna Corrigan, who lost two brothers, the film is deeply emotional and vital. It’s not just history—it’s a call to action, honoring the lost children and the relentless fight for truth and justice.
