Trespass Magazine – Win 1 of 10 double passes to Philomena

Philomena is the true story of one mother’s search for her lost son. Falling pregnant as a teenager in Ireland in 1952, Philomena Lee was sent to the convent of Roscrea to be looked after as a ‘fallen woman’. When her baby was only a toddler, he was taken away by the nuns for adoption in America.

After fifty years searching for him in vain, Philomena (Judi Dench) meets Martin Sixsmith (Steve Coogan), a world-weary journalist as cynical as Philomena is trusting. Together they embark on a journey of discovery, revealing the extraordinary life of Philomena’s son. Warm, witty and compassionate, and featuring a powerhouse performance from Judi Dench, Philomena is not to be missed.

Based on Martin Sixsmith‘s acclaimed book The Lost Child of Philomena Lee: A Mother, Her Son and a Fifty-Year Search.
