Subject: RE: Origins: Well below the valley - discuss!
I'm really suprised that this thread hasn't meantioned a thing about
Peter Mullin's "The Magdalene Sisters".
It's sung at a wedding by a priest. The song was chosen because it reflects the abuse and lack of support and information that the girls in the story will face. One girl is raped by her drunk cousin.
One is accused of flirting and kicked out of the orphanage she lives at. One is sent away for being a teen pregnancy. And, another that is already there at the laundry, was another teen pregnancy who is mentally challenged AND being abused by her confessor.
