Movie Recommendation

 

Yesterday afternoon Gma and I watched this movie.  I strongly recommend it.  It's hard to believe that it really happened up until the mid 60's.  An organized deportation of children from England to Australia began during WW 11 and continued until 1967.  The children were removed from homes and parents and sent unaccompanied to Australia where they were placed with charities and home.  Some of them were basically used for child labor and many were molested and worse.  It is based on the book Empty Cradles by Margaret Humpheries who is the social worker who uncovered the whole story and who helps and continues to help the victims find their real families and identities.  It's very disturbing to find that the British government did this and that they only just apologized recently.
