Atheist Film: The Magdalene Sisters

The Magdalene Asylums were Catholic institutions for “fallen women” (women deemed immoral by their parents), who were confined there indefinitely to work as slaves for nuns and be beaten, degraded, mentally and sexually abused.
In the Middle Ages, right? No. The last Magdalene Asylum closed in 1996, in Ireland. (A 2,600-page report on the abuses of Magdalene Asylums was released in May, 2009.)
