'Philomena' (2013)

Show notes

It's borderline offensive that it's taken eighty episodes until we explore a film starring the legend that is Dame Judi, but not nearly as offensive as some of the wrongs suffered by the character she portrays. We don't have to work too hard to find a film exploring controversy involving the Catholic church, but this story only really came to light within the last quarter century and even now, people continue to struggle for answers and reparations. How did this corridor to bring Irish children to the US get established? When did her son first start looking for her? And what was the defining moment in making this connection?! Join us to find out on That's Not How It Went Down!
