Now a major film starring Judi Dench and Steve Coogan

Falling pregnant as a teenager in 1952, Philomena Lee was sent to the convent in Co. Tipperary to be looked after as a fallen woman. She cared for her baby for three years until the Church took him and sold him, like countless others, to America for adoption. She spent the next fifty years secretly searching for him, unaware that he was searching for her from across the Atlantic.

A compelling and deeply moving true story of human love and loss, both heart-breaking yet ultimately redemptive.
