Least said, Soonest Mended

Pregnant at 15 in England and dispatched to an institution where she was hidden away and arrangements made for the subsequent adoption of her baby, filmmaker Steve THOMAS’ twin sister, Val, spent the next 25 years not knowing where her child was, or whether she was alive or dead. This is a highly personal film which gives an account of one ’adoption story’ which many women and families will recognize from their own experience, and in the process asks questions (and provides no clear answers!) about the meaning of ’family’ and ‘motherhood’.
