After the Dance

In this powerful and moving documentary, filmmaker Daisy Asquith explores her family's hidden past, uncovering secrets that have been buried for generations. After her mother's conception out of wedlock in 1940s Ireland, her grandmother was forced to give up her child to 'the nuns' and keep the truth a secret. Daisy's mother was adopted by an English Catholic family, while her grandmother returned to Ireland, never revealing the truth. Several decades later, Daisy and her mother embark on a heartwarming and emotional journey to uncover the identity of their family's mysterious past, and in the process, they discover a new family living a vastly different life. Through their journey, they confront the fear and shame that Catholicism has inflicted on the Irish people for centuries, sparking an emotional rollercoaster that will leave viewers both laughing and crying.
