Featured in 60 Minutes: Red Sea Crisis/Fake Voters/Finding Cillian Murphy (2024)
Tale
In 1985, devoted father Bill Furlong discovers disturbing secrets kept by the local convent and reveals shocking truths about himself. Cillian Murphy is a fan of the original writer of the film’s novel, Claire Keegan. He remembers reading her novel “Foster” on a train and having to pull his hood over his face because he was crying.

Sometimes, they were also physically abused and mistreated

Eileen Walsh, who plays Mrs
It left a mark on the soul of the country. Furlong, also starred in Magdalene Sister, a 2003 film. Coincidence or not: I suggest you check it out because it is a perfect ending to this gem of a film.
