Charity Girls provides a powerful look inside this horrifying time when women were forcibly confined for having venereal diseases. Although fictionalized, the message was unrelenting in providing a view into what went on in these "internment camps." It is all too possible to see the politicians posturing, and people like Alice and the "guard" with hidden agendas. I had no idea that these places were prevalent during WWII in the U.S. It is disheartening to know that women of this socio-economic background were subjected to this inhumane treatment.
