Plots(1)
Oranges and Sunshine tells the story of Margaret Humphrey's, a social woker who uncovered one of the most contreverial scandels in recent times: the organized deportation of innocent children from the Uninted Kingdom to Austrailia, who were put up for adoption - and were thought to be lost in the system forever. Almost single-handedly, against overwhelming odds, and with little regard for her own well-being, Humphrey's reuninted thousands of families and brought worldwide attention to a corrupt system and an extrodinary miscarriage of justice. Academy Award nominee Emily Watson (Breaking the Wavers, Punch Drunk Love) stars as a woman whose quest for truth would challenge the leaders of two nations, and force them confess to a secret as stunning as the crime it concealed.
