Philomena

Judi Dench, Steve Coogan, Mare Winningham

Based on a true story.

In 1952, a young Philomena was sent to the convent of Roscrea in Ireland after becoming pregnant. When her son became a toddler, the nuns sent him to America for adoption.

Nearly 50 years later, Philomena meets Martin Sixsmith, a former BBC reporter looking for his next big story. Together, they embark on a journey to locate her long lost son. As the pieces of the puzzle come together, the unlikely travel companions form a comic and heartwarming friendship. Based on the 2009 investigative book by Martin Sixsmith.

Very powerful. A mother determined to find her son, a son equally determined, and the Catholic Church determined to hide the truth.
