There is no doubt about it, man's attempt to make the world a better and more civilised place is doomed to disaster. This true story tells of three young girls' attempts to stay true to their world while the world wants to eradicate their future and make them into an image of conformity. What is truly disturbing is such things were going on right up to 1970. The film itself is beautifully shot, the adults are sinister in the logical way they come to conclusions and every part is wonderfully acted. But it's the kids who rightfully steal the plaudits. The film ends with us being informed what actually happened to the kids once the film ended. A film that needs to be seen if only for the warning of what governments do in our name and keep quiet about afterwards.
