A FILM EVERY AUSTRALIAN SHOULD SEE.

From the Academy Award-winning producers of THE KING'S SPEECH comes an incredible story of courage and compassion. ORANGES AND SUNSHINE tells the true story of Margaret Humphreys, a social worker from Nottingham who uncovered one of the most significant social scandals of recent times: the deportation of thousands of children 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 drew worldwide attention to an extraordinary miscarriage of justice.
