The documentary “This World: Ireland’s Lost Babies” unearths further
truths about the 40,000 to 60,000 babies who were involuntarily given up
for adoption, many to the United States, from Catholic mother and baby homes in Ireland, during the 1950s and 60s.
Presented by Martin Sixsmith the documentary alternates between
Ireland and the US to tell the tales of the parents and children who
were separated by the Catholic
Church. Sixsmith is the journalist behind the tale of Philomena, which
was later made in to a movie by Steve Coogan. His latest hour-long
documentary examines the appalling treatment of the Irish women who
became pregnant outside marriage and also the adopted children, who were
farmed out to parents who had little vetting.
