Oranges and Sunshine December 7, 2011

Oranges and Sunshine (Jim Loach, 2010) will be screened on Wednesday 7th December at 7.30pm in the Studio Theatre.  

Oranges & Sunshine tells the story of Margaret Humphreys (Emily Watson), a social worker from Nottingham, who uncovered one of the most significant social scandals in recent times: the organised deportation of children in care from the United Kingdom to Australia. Almost single-handedly, against overwhelming odds and with little regard for her own well-being, Margaret reunited thousands of families, brought authorities to account and worldwide attention to an extraordinary miscarriage of justice.
