End of an era

A nice documentary that most young people aren't aware of, unless they've read or seen the story of "Anne of Green Gables."

The old method was probably better than what we have in the US today.

I would love some help...

I would love some help locating the song concluding the movie. It's beautiful. Shazam wasn't useful and I can't locate it by the lyrics. I thought the movie was extremely well done. The research was very well documented and narrated. The videography of the last surviving orphans was extremely touching. These often unwanted children were packed on trains from New York and sent to various parts of the Midwest. The focus was on various cities and counties in Iowa. It also documents the story of Emily Rhys (spelling), which I believe is further documented in the novel the Lost Orphan by Stacey Halls. Her story seemed very grim but eventually worked out to her advantage. I have nothing but respect for the makers of this film and every resilient child to have boarded those Orphan trains.
