'Pray for Us', the film about the Patronato de la Mujer (Women's Patronage) that exposes its atrocities: imprisoned girls subjected to the violence of the nuns

The film 'Ruega por nosotras', directed by Daniel Monzón, examines the historical operations of the Patronato de Protección a la Mujer in Spain. Set in 1974, the drama reconstructs the experiences of adolescent girls who were institutionalized and subjected to strict discipline and violence by nuns. The production serves as an investigation into the systemic abuses that occurred within these facilities during that era. Separately, in Duxbury, Massachusetts, Lindsay Clancy, a 32-year-old woman, is facing legal and personal scrutiny following an incident on January 24, 2023, in which her three children were killed. Reports indicate that Clancy left her residence and subsequently attempted suicide, with discussions surrounding the case focusing on the role of mental health in the tragedy.
