Yes, a fairly tragic story all around.

Yes, but a story everyone needs to know. The Right learners are fine with a story like this being one never told! For for shows the a failing in ultra conservatism!

It shows up the prejudices of leftist snobs too. "Vulnerable weak-minded ignorant people" indeed!

Not a move but I've been binge watching the History Channel Series, "Vikings". The Dark Ages was always my favorite period of history and I find this series to be excellent with regard to historical verisimilitude. The story, fictionalized accounts of the real (or legendary) exploits of real people, is pretty engaging.
It's on Hulu.

Never saw it but know the story. Those "Magdalene Asylums" were grotesque, particularly in Ireland where the last one was closed in 1996. And that only happened after the discovery of a mass grave/dumping ground containing almost 200 people.

Judy Dench was magnificent as usual. You should watch it John.

I just saw Birdman.
1. Very good movie.
2. Smartly acted.
3. Fabulous (jazz percussion) soundtrack.
