Movie Preview: Erana James is one of the New Zealand misfit girls exiled to an island “reformatory” — “We Were Dangerous”

Posted on June 13, 2024 by Roger Moore

This 1950s period piece looks chilling, heartbreaking and uplifting.

I can’t easily find any reference to the history this film may be remembering. Maori reform school? Something broader that took in “problem” girls from any race and class? And “cured” them?

Release dates in North America TBD.
