Review of Oranges and Sunshine (2010) by Eliza H — 27 Jul 2011

Set against true life events, with Emily watson playing Margaret humphreys a social worker in 80s nottingham uncovering a event in the 40s connecting two goverments. the u.k and australia. thouisands of orphans, or as we find out that fact was medled with, shipped off to Australia and here showing a particular place where in most cases terrible events took place, and here the story involving many of the now grown up kids tryinmg to reconnect with parents and Margaret at vcentre of it all.

this is well made, directed by Jim loach. it certainly showcased events I knew nothing about, and wether everything is acurate, I dont know, but its out there now and all the good for that.
