The movie Philomena told the story of Philomena Lee, who was forced
by the Catholic Church to give up her son for adoption. It showed her
journey with journalist Martin Sixsmith to find her child 50 years later.
The movie won public and critical praise, but it also shone a light on a shocking period of Irish history - a time when the Church wielded enormous political and cultural power, attempting to control even what happened in the bedrooms of Ireland.
