Untold Secrets was the first ever made Irish Documentary about Mother and Baby Homes and Institutions in Ireland.
The film tells the story of survivors from Irish mother and baby homes, focusing on the life and upbringing of one of them, Anne Silke. Raised in a convent in Tuam, Silke was handed over at the age of nine to a prominent family in the town. The documentary recounts the often brutal and abusive treatment she suffered at the hands of her adoptive family. Although Silke has passed away, the documentary posthumously gives a voice to this woman; and possibly offers her family a chance to close the chapter on their history. [12]
Mincéir is a short documentary about the traditions of Irish Travellers. [13]
