Philomena, with Judi Dench and Steve Coogan. In the context of the book we're reading, Small Things Like These, I strongly recommend the club members to watch it. It's about a teenage girl who, in 1950's Ireland, becomes pregnant out of wedlock, is sent to a convent. When her baby is a toddler, he is taken away from her and put up for adoption in America. 50 years later the mother embarks on a journey to try and find her son.
It's a really interesting film with a fantastic cast.

Philomena is a British drama film directed by Stephen Frears . It was screened in the main competition at the Venice Film Festival in 2013, where Steve Coogan and Jeff Pope won the Osella Award for Best Screenplay. 1 At the Toronto Film Festival , the film won second place in the popular choice category.2
Philomena is based on the book The lost child of Philomena Lee by Martin Sixsmith , which tells the true story of Philomena Lee and her fifty-year search for her son. Unlike the film adaptation, the book focuses more on Michael Hess 's life before he was adopted.
