The festival is to host the world premiere of the documentary on the survivors.
Simply titled 'Mother and Baby', the short film highlights how children were discarded in death as they were in life.

The feature was made as part of the Irish Film Board’s Focus Shorts and Real Shorts and is showing at the Everyman Theatre this afternoon.
