the magdalene sisters
This movie not a only a story true, but I believe they had to play down the abuse of the nuns to these Women because it would have been too violent and the censorship board would have to intervene.
I saw it many years ago, but it was a most powerful Film then. I myself went to a Marist brothers boarding school, though we got the cane and the strap. That's was about it. It was a Agricultural school and some of the brothers were good, but there was others who were tyrants.

Former Magdalene inmate Mary-Jo McDonagh told Mullan that the reality of the Magdalene Asylums was much worse than depicted in the film.
