The fact that we never heard about these things until now is astonishing. Two similar films are "Rabbit-Proof Fence" (about aboriginal children in Australia kidnapped from their parents so they could be "Christianized" in government "orphanages" which were really prisons AND "The Magdalene Sisters," about Irish girls put in nun-run prisons for the slightest indiscretions. Both tell of horrors that took place in our lifetimes that we never knew about.
