"Philomena" and they are both excellent films. But they are not history."
No - they are not, but both are based firmly on a tiny piece of what happened, as did Magdalene Sisters, The Boys of St Vincents and Song for a Raggy Boy
In order to have given a clear, realistic picture of what went on would have put the films in the "extremly pornographic and violent" category
MEA MAXIMA CULPA didn't need a script or actors to show hwat happened in America and how the church handles it
It has yet to be dealt with at this level on this side of the pond
