The Magdalena Sisters

This is a movie that was extremely shocking for me. It is about a convent where girl sinners go to pay for what they have done wrong. The movie starts with a marriage where a boy rapes her cousin, she goes, tells her mother and soon all of the family finds out. She was accused of being provocative and her parents sent her to this horrible convent where the nuns treated them terribly. Not only the nuns make them work without even being allowed to talk; but also they abused the girls every time they could.

Another girl was brought to the convent because she had a son without being married and other because she flirted with some boys in her school. Everything was so unfair back then. Religion has made people do so many horrible an stupid things. I can´t believe how can people in the name of God- who is suppose to be all about good- can hurt and destroy so many lives.

Judging others is the easy part; judging one’s actions is what takes real effort. If only those people could look at themselves before judging and punishing people they wouldn’t even find the time to keep doing it.
