The powerful documentary by Galway TV presenter Síle Seoige is one of the nominees for this year’s RTS Ireland Television Awards.
The awards nominees, announced this week, were chosen from among almost 100 entries in ten categories this year.
Síle’s powerful documentary Síle Seoige: Deireadh Tochta which explored the grief, hopes, fears, and frustrations of those who have gone through miscarriage is nominated in the ‘Factual Single’ category.
First broadcast on TG4 in April of last year, the hour-long documentary film was inspired by Síle’s own experience having opened up about her miscarriage on social media in 2019.
She was overwhelmed by response that she received, describing it as ‘an avalanche’ of replies from people who had been through the same thing.
In documentary, produced by Tyrone Productions, Síle met women, couples, doctors and service providers in an effort to investigate the medical, emotional, psychological, and sociological elements of miscarriage, to help society understand it better.
The winners of this year’s RTS Ireland Television Awards will be announced on April 12 at an event in the RDS Concert Hall, hosted by Bláthnaid Treacy and Nuala Carey.
