The Phone Box Babies is a documentary revealing new insights into the lives and identities of three newborn babies abandoned in the 1960s in different parts of Ireland. The babies were discovered by random passersby in phone boxes, and in a car, without any identifying information or clue to their origins.
This new documentary uncovers details about the babies’ parents, where they came from, and why they were given up. Fifty years later, as adults, they discover their connection to each other and embark on an emotional journey to uncover their identities.
United in their desire to uncover more of the truth about their family and the circumstances surrounding their parents’ decision to abandon them, the documentary follows the siblings as – with the support of newly discovered half-siblings and family friends (including snooker legend Ken Doherty) – they uncover a web of secrets and untold stories that reflect the Ireland of the past.
