Director's Statement

I began my journey with Ann Lovett in 2018. I remember the talk in our house and how people reacted to her death and that of her baby son Patrick. This was an amazing story of grit and determination and pure horror at the same time. She knew that her baby was coming. She hid it well from almost everyone. She brought a scissors and a page from her science book showing her how to cut the cord and bring new life into this world. She was not prepared. She was 15 years old. Her death and that of her baby Patrick was silenced the moment she passed, by her family and the town she was growing up in. This is an observational narrative drama that explores this true story of a young pregnant teenage girl, in 1980’s rural Ireland.
