"The Magdalene Sisters" (2003)

A provocative drama charting several years in the young lives of four "fallen women" who were rejected by their families and abandoned to the mercy of the Catholic Church in 1960's Ireland. While women's liberation is sweeping the globe, these women are stripped of their dignity and condemned to indefinite sentences of servitude in The Magdalene Laundries, in order to atone for their "sins."
