A "DISTURBING" film based on the real-life story of young Irish women who were abused by nuns up until less than a decade ago is to be screened in Worcester.
The Magdalene Sisters will be shown at the Swan Theatre, on Monday, February 28, at 7.30pm, in association with the Worcester Film Society.
"It is based on real events that took place from the 1960s until 1996 when an estimated 30,000 young women, considered by their families to have committed sexual sins, were sent away from their homes to earn penitence working in profit-making laundries run by the Sisters of Magdalene Order," said a theatre spokesman.
"The nuns were cruel money-grabbers."
Tickets for the film, certificate 18, cost £5 or £4 for concessions and can be purchased by calling 01905 611427.
