Question
I'm looking for the title of a film about nuns abusing children sent to a state home. The story was about siblings sent to such a home either after some family tragedy or for misbehaving. The real story has been on the news from Ireland about how extensive the abuse was. I believe that a family member rescued the children after finding out that they were being so harshly mistreated. It seems that there were 2 or 3 children from the family.

Answer
Hi William,

I think the movie your talking about is "The Magdalene Sisters".

I can answer most questions on TV and movies from the USA and Australia, from the old Hollywood days of the 40's to now. If I dont know the show, I will do my utmost to search for the answer. The more information you can give the better eg: if it was about a boy and his dog, even the breed of dog would help. I will endeavour to answer as soon as possible after receiving your question but, please know, Im in Australia, so you may be asking while Im snoring.

I was educated by constant watching and, if you google australia for the name Bill Collins, the aussie guru of film, well I always thought I must be a relative of his, but mum says no.
