Irene's Ghost: A 'must-see' film, full of laughter and tears
Local Nuneaton film maker, Iain Cunningham, has created a powerful and moving film called 'Irene's Ghost' about his quest to learn more about his mother who experienced puerperal psychosis and died when he was an infant.
The film explores the stigma of perinatal mental health illness in the 70s - provoking questions about continued stigma today, infant mental health, and the importance of community.

The film is being shown in selected cinema's across the UK, for more details visit @IrenesGhost
