Story of Margaret Humphreys, a social worker, who uncovered one of the most significant social scandals in recent times: the forced migration of children from the United Kingdom. She discovered a secret that the British government had kept hidden for years: one hundred and thirty thousand children in care had been sent abroad to commonwealth countries, mainly Australia. Many were subjected to appalling abuse. They were promised oranges and sunshine, they got hard labour and life in institutions. (imdb)

"The result is a plodding, overly tasteful procedural that holds up its hero as an incorruptible embodiment of goodness." - Andrew Schenker

I liked it. It got a little slow and boring in the middle, but it got darker and more interesting as it went on. Emily Watson was brilliant and my favourite part about the film was how the experiences of these children affected her.

Occasionally tele-movie and full of 'for schools' style self-censorship but OK, Weaving especially was very good.
