I bought this DVD having just read "Empty Cradles" by Social Worker Margaret Humphries.I found the book educational, a fascinating,enlightening ,humbling and somewhat embarrassing read . The DVD further highlights what happened to several Child Migraints during the 40"s,50"s 60"s and 70"s.These were already vulnerable children, many of them taken from the British Care System ,they were taken wihout their parents knowledge to several countries including Australia, "the land of Sunshine and Oranges" Many of them were told they were orphans and were subjected to all types of abuse. Margaret Humphries worked tirelessly and pashionately to try to find surviving relatives and in doing so giving individuals a sense of identity and belonging,something they never had . Both the book and the DVD should be in all Schools ,it is part of our British history albeit a shameful part. Both the book and DVD are highly recommended.Read full review
This shocked me that this true story about the uk and Australia goverments allowed this terrible injust happened to young children years ago ,the uk and Australia goverments should be arshamed of themselves this was allowed to happen and to take 23 years to say sorry is just disgusting

The story was well worth the telling and reminding us how governments can deceive the population for generations. Thankfully the bravery of a lone social worker brought this story out into the open. A brilliantly acted film with all the emotions that you would expect from such a difficult subject.

A true story that needed to be told and an apologies that was a very long time in coming. This well acted film will keep you engaged and will take you through an array of emotions, leaving you thinking how certain things can happen ( for so long) without questioning the legitimacy of the activity
