    If so they should prosecute the bad Nun, very thought provoking film.
    Is this still grumbling in the background ?

    They should prosecute the entire system that enslaved women, stole children and sold them abroad for profit.

    But that would be admitting to State liability and would cost a fortune.

    They will admit it after the last one has died.

    The nun is dead - she died in 1995 and a meeting between her and the journalist could never have taken place because he only started working on his book in 2004.

    The nun was apparently very nice to them by all accounts.

    Not a bad film though.

    She tortured everyone in primary school during the 70s and 80s - I can hear a redress board being set up as I type.
