And Then We Were Taken Away delves into a dark chapter of Swiss history, exploring the systematic separation of over 100,000 children from their families under the guise of moral improvement. The documentary’s atmosphere is somber, weaving personal testimonies with archival footage that creates a haunting juxtaposition. The pacing feels deliberate, allowing the viewer to digest the weight of each story. Themes of social justice and the impact of authority on familial bonds resonate throughout.
