Margo Harkin) tells the story of t he Mother and Baby and County Care Homes in Ireland. ♀\;️\;&# x2764\;️\;🔱\;\n\nThis special screening has been organised as a commemorative event by Renewing Roots\, with funding from the Governm ent of Ireland’s Department of Children\, Equality\, Disability\, Integ ration and Youth Commemorative Grant Scheme.\n\nStolen\n\nStolen reveals how women who had the misfortune to fall pregnant ‘out of wedlock’ we re treated in an Ireland that was heavily influenced by the Catholic Churc h. Over 80\,000 unmarried mothers were incarcerated in mother and baby ins titutions\, mainly run by Catholic nuns from 1922 to 1998. Most were cruel ly separated from their babies after birth. Many of the children were adop ted\, within Ireland and abroad\, rendered untraceable and unaware of thei r birth story. Others were fostered out by the state as cheap farm labour from the age of six\, often in circumstances abysmally devoid of care and love. 9\,000 infants died in these institutions from 1922 to 1998\, a rate that\, on occasion\, was five times the national average infant mortality rate. Survivors expose the shocking details of their treatment in a scand al that sparked a government inquiry into the fate of unmarried women who fell pregnant in 20th century Ireland.\n\n“In this moving\, wholly auth oritative work Margo Harkin has produced a definitive account of this sham eful history”\, Sunniva O’Flynn.\n\nStolen received a nomination\, fr om the Irish Film and Television Academy (IFTA)\, for the 2024 George Morrison Feature Documentary Award. Recently\, The Irish Times voted Ma rgo’s films Hush-A-Bye Baby and Waveriders within Top 50 Irish Films Ever list.\n\nWhat to expect\n\nVisitors will be greeted by Fréa and F estival team members\, before a screening of the film.
