Freedom Magazine has been running a series of stories on the horrific abuse of the orphans in Quebec in the 50s an 60s. Under Quebec Premier, Maurice Duplessis, the orphans, normal children, were overnight classified as mental patients so that the Quebec government could get three times as much federal funding for them as mental patients than as orphans. This left the children at the hands of psychiatrists - and they were treated like slaves, given experimental drugs, electro-shock and sometimes lobotomies. I had the chance of interviewing some of those orphans and their spokesman, Rod Vienneau and have put together this little documentary to give them a face as well as a voice.
