Judi Dench stars as Philomena Lee in the emotionally moving and shocking true story based on Martin Sixsmith's novel: The Lost Children of Philomena Lee released in 2009.
In a controversial pregnancy during the 1950's, Lee was sent to a Catholic home for unmarried mothers where she gave birth to her son before authoritarian, religious nuns forced the mother to give up her only child who was sent for adoption in America.
After 50 years of searching for her son she achieved very little but instead found political journalist Martin Sixsmith (Coogan) who would end up taking her to America to find the truth about her son in a heart gripping and extraordinary story that celebrates human love, loss and the celebration of life.
Steve Coogan co-stars and co-wrote the screenplay alongside Jeff Pope. The film is directed by BAFTA winner Stephen Frears (The Queen) and stars Judi Dench and Steve Coogan.
Starring: Judi Dench, Steve Coogan, Charlie Murphy, Simone Lahbib, Sophie Kennedy Clark, Neve Gachev, Charles Edwards, Xavier Atkins, Charlotte Rickard, Stuart Matthews, Ruth McCabe, Wunmi Mosaku, Alan Davis, Nichola Fynn, Xavier Atkins, Anna Maxwell Martin
