Episode Details

A haunting new film, The Lost Children of Tuam, unveils Catherine Corless’s relentless quest to uncover the truth behind Ireland’s darkest secret: the Tuam Mother and Baby Home, where hundreds of children died between 1925 and 1961. What began as a local research project spiraled into an international sensation after a 2017 New York Times exposé sparked global outrage—and caught the attention of Liam Neeson, who helped bring this story to the big screen. Corless, driven by personal memories and family history, spent years combing through archives, walking the grounds, and connecting with survivors to piece together a chilling puzzle of missing records and unmarked graves. Her painstaking work, validated by 2016 excavations that unearthed more remains, exposed a hidden network of burial sites beneath the former institution. More than a documentary, this film is a moving tribute to Corless’s courage and a solemn memorial for the forgotten children—proving that one person’s persistence can force a nation to face its most painful truths.
