Producer Emile Sherman (King's speech) is the real battle social worker Margaret Humphreys (Emily Watson), as it did with the illegal expulsion of children
Oranges and Sunshine tells the story of Margaret Humphreys, a Nottingham social worker who found one of the most important social scandals in recent history: the deportation of thousands of children in the UK to Australia .
Almost alone, against overwhelming odds and with little regard for their welfare, combined with thousands of families, Margaret, has led the authorities to account, and drew the attention of the world for extraordinary miscarriage of justice. Children from the four have been told that their parents were dead, and sent to orphanages around the world. Many have been forced to terrible abuses. They were promised sunshine and oranges were hard work and life of plants.
