A troubling yet ultimately inspirational account of one of the most disturbing aspects of Britain’s recent past. Oranges and Sunshine tells the true story of social worker Margaret Humphreys who single-handedly fought for justice for families torn apart by a shocking state secret. For several decades, up until the late 60’s, the government removed over 150,000 children from poor families and sent them over seas to save costs on care provision.
