Bronagh Gallagher continues to star in the Derry-penned, produced, and shot ‘A Bump Long the Way’ which is currently showing in cinemas nationwide.

The heart-warming comedy drama which was directed by Shelly Love is based on a debut script by the Berlin-based Derry screenwriter Theresa McGowan. It is on general release and can be seen on the big screen locally until the end of this month.

The film, tells the story of fun-loving, 44-year-old single mum Pamela (Bronagh Gallagher) who becomes pregnant following a boozy one night-stand with a man half her age, much to the shame of her buttoned-up teenage daughter Allegra (Lola Petticrew).

As Pamela deals with her unexpected pregnancy and the growing pains of the disgruntled Allegra, the challenges they both face ultimately bring mother and daughter to a better understanding of themselves and each other.

The movie was produced by Bronagh’s sister Louise with another Derry emigré and cinema success story Roma Downey acting as Executive Producer.

It is being distributed by Ed Guiney’s and Andrew Lowe’s influential Element Pictures, which has produced such critically acclaimed films as ‘The Favourite’, ‘Room’, ‘The Guard’ and ‘The Wind That Shakes The Barley’ among others.
