The newly released movie Philomena, from British filmmaker
Stephen Frears, starring Judi Dench and Steve Coogan, is inspired by a
tragic book written by Martin Sixsmith. It is the true story of a woman
searching for her lost son, a lifelong quest that will take her from the
UK to America, a desperate quest and heart-wrenching saga.
Taking place in Ireland, which explains some of the conservative positions of the highly Catholic society in which she lives, Philomena, the woman in the film, found herself pregnant out of wedlock (such a word) shipped away to a convent of sort, and forced by nuns to give up her baby boy to a rich family.
