Vera Drake Part 1

Vera Drake is a selfless woman who is completely devoted to, and loved by, her working class family. She spends her days doting on them and caring for her sick neighbor and elderly mother. However, she also secretly visits women and helps them induce miscarriages for unwanted pregnancies. While the practice itself was illegal in 1950s England, Vera sees herself as simply helping women in need, and always does so with a smile and kind words of encouragement. When the authorities finally find her out, Vera's world and family life rapidly unravel.

@rosebud569 I can't imagine how difficult the decision must be for a woman. I support women's rights and choices.

The volume's too low-what a shame!

how.. I probably won't look at Umbridge in the same way from now on....

Excellent movie. But please Google "A deadly trade", by the Guardian's Jennifer Worth - for an accurate description of what actually happened back then.

Didn't know Umbridge was capable of being so nice :P

@loner1878 nice try - and no I will not keep answering your inane comments so that my comments will be pushed into the next page where no one will see them.
