I recorded it but haven't had time to watch it. I think it's based on the story of Philomena searching for her long lost son, Martin Sixsmith got interested when he was helping her in her search. |

Catholicism is no longer compulsory in Ireland - if it ever was. |

The crime novelist Benjamin Black wrote an excellent piece on this matter "Christine Falls". There was a good TV adaptation recently on BBC " Quirke" which really caught the threads of Ireland around 1960. |

I think we see similar situations on Long Lost Family where the babies are taken from the mothers because they had no support from their babies' fathers or their families due to the shame of becoming pregnant before marriage. It's so sad, but happened to so many mums and babies. |
