| Description: |
This film reveals the hidden history of over a million young women who became pregnant in the 1950s and 60s when 'nice girls' didn't get pregnant. It was a time when young women were routinely expelled from high schools and colleges and banished to maternity homes or distant relatives where they would give birth, surrender their babies for adoption, and start over with a clean slate. They were told to keep their secret and forget it ever happened. But did they? The films combines footage from educational films and newsreels with the voices of these mothers as they speak today about the long-term impact of surrender and silence on their lives.
