Rosie Fortress

(Genevieve O’reilly)

Rosie is a 40-year-old first-time mumto-be. She pleads for a termination on compassionate grounds after her unborn child dies in the womb as a result of Edwards’ syndrome, a rare genetic disorder.

Rosie is denied the medical procedure to the disbelief of her English husband, David

(Doctor Foster star Prasanna Puwanarajah), who watches helplessly as his wife endures a mentally and physically debilitating pregnancy.

‘I hope most women will relate to Rosie,’ says Genevieve, 44. ‘She endures great pain.

‘I still get emotional when I think of what she had to deal with. The women who shared their stories with us are brave. We’re all keen to honour their voices.’
