Anna and Emily are joined by filmmaker Iain Cunningham, who talks about the lives of his biological mum, Irene, who died when he was barely a toddler, and his mum, Judith, who raised him. They discuss the process of making Irene's Ghost, Iain's phenomenal documentary that follows his personal search for who Irene was and what happened to her, the habits he's inherited from Judith and the importance of telling the stories of the people we've lost.
You can follow Iain on Twitter @_iaincunningham. Find out more about Irene's Ghost on the film's official website (http://irenesghost.com) or on Twitter and Instagram (@irenesghost for both).

Yours in grief, A & B xx
