anyone know the name of the film about unmarried mothers in Ireland living in a convent and having their babies taken away for adoption during the last centuries?
I think it was BBC, could be another movie channel, not sure. I think it may have been shown during the past year or so.
and as a point of interest the Irish government has still never apologised for these 'launderies'
when an excavation happened in Dublin on the site of one of these places the nuns who lived at this particular convent denied the existence of the laundery and 'had no knowledge' of the many bodies found buried on the site.
Yeh and all those nuns are " Brides of God"? Never in this world I.Don. My Dad was taught by nuns and had a hatred of them that lasted to his dying day. I often wonder if anything happened to him and the other boys.
the Magdalene Sisters was a cinema-released movie, there was a BBC one called Sinners about a year previous (and was far superior, even though some of the actresses were in both)
China - sorry to disagree - the last one didn't close in the 60s. The last one actually closed in 1996.
I stand corrected Whickerman, Thanks for the link an interesting read. Im so glad those remains were given a proper burial. Still no anwer to that one is there?
