The Nightingale


Summary: Set in Australia during the Black War, an Irish convict named Clare is forced to serve the British colonists. Her beauty and equally beautiful voice make her particularly vulnerable to the god-awful lieutenant. After years of being taken advantage of, she goes on a dangerous journey to seek revenge.


Takeaways: *Trigger warning: This movie contains multiple scenes of violence and rape. Although The Nightingale was not easy to watch, it led to deep questions and conversations about the dehumanizing effects of slavery.
