Derek McSweeney on the set of Mary Is Missing. 

An Irish thriller developed, created by and starring an ensemble of people with intellectual disabilities was shown at Cork International Film Festival over the weekend.

Set in a day service centre, Mary is Missing explores the mystery of a care worker who vanishes without trace, as eyewitnesses give more and more confounding accounts of what happened to her.
