Filmed over ten years, Northern Irish filmmaker Sam Jones' feature is a fascinating and poignant documentary about family and belonging.While working and travelling in Russia, Cork-based Sam meets U.S. citizen Gabe, who is trying to trace the birth mother that he and his sister were taken from as young children when they were adopted into America. What follows is an intimate portrayal of one young man's life-changing search in rural Russia for the truth.Awards: Louis Marcus Documentary Award - IndieCork 2023Festival Audience Award - Belfast Film Festival 2023"Few films at this year’s [Galway Film] fleadh were more memorable than Sam Jones’s My Lost Russian Mother...As the film progresses, we get a surer sense of Gabe’s own traumas and the sadness turns in upon itself. A fascinating, troubling story that reminds us to avoid hasty judgments."--Donald Clarke, The Irish Times, July 2023
