Bad Fruit the Unheard Voice of the  Tuam Babies

Director: Teresa Lavina

Screenwriter:  Teresa Lavina

Genre:  Documentry

This is a film about the Tuam babies in Ireland. 796 babies were thrown in a septic tank, no proper burials, no prayers, no respect. The nuns have not yet apologised for their actions. This film is a testimony told by the survivors of Tuam mother and baby home, their experience and stories. I am publishing this with great respect for the victims, the survivors and Catherine Corless for the amount of time and work she has put into her cause trying to help the victims and survivors having their voices heard. Thanks PJ for your dedication and a huge thanks to Anne, Walter, Carmel and PJ again for your wonderful contribution, Anne, Walter and Carmel

​

The narrative inspires to take the viewer on an emotional and heart-wrenching journey uncovering the physical and mental strain experienced by the victims.

Strands of the narrative will explore the short and long term effect of the abuse on relationships with children, and the help and support available to victims, and how effective they are. How the authorities, state agencies and society generally view and interact with the victims. How traditional masculine stereotypes have impacted on our reactions and views of abuse and how we can learn as a society to be objective with different scenarios. How the impact of the abuse and the fear of ridicule are driving many men to face a silent and lonely reality and in some cases the taking of their own lives.
