The Magdalene Sisters
For a more complete plot synopsis visit The Magdalene Sisters official web site.
Screenplay writer and Director Peter Mullan did a brilliant job telling the stories of three young women sent to this convent cum prison for such heinous offenses as being flirtatious, being raped by a cousin or giving birth to a child out of wedlock.
To think that the last of these places only closed in 1996.
Brace yourself and bring kleenex.
