Film Synopsis
A GIRL LIKE HER reveals the hidden history of over a million young women who became pregnant in the 1950s and 60s and were banished to maternity homes to give birth, surrender their children, and return home alone. They were told to keep their secret, move on and forget. But, does a woman forget her child?
The film combines footage from educational films and newsreels of the time period about dating, sex, illegitimate pregnancy, and adoptionthat both reflected and shaped the publics understanding of single pregnancy during that timewith the voices of these mothers as they speak today, with hindsight, about the long-term impact of surrender and silence on their lives.
