What an amazing woman Margeret Humphrey's is - she should be given a degree in Genealogy in 'Breaking down Brick Walls'

I read the book Oranges and Sunshine, and needed some tissue's.

This is showing tonight, Saturday 16th August on BBC2 at 11pm

I only watched this film sometime last year I think.....touching and heartbreaking film, tissues at the ready.........

I am sure I have seen this film on tv before, or read the book. I know it rings bells with me, didn't record it last evening as sure I had already seen it, and couldn't face sad stuff at the mo.

So many injustices done to young people in those years, as there were in the past when young 'criminals' were sent abroad. The treatment they got was awful in many cases, and no one seemed to check up on them or care once they were out of this country.

I COULDN'T WATCH IT KNOWING IT BE TRUE,THE THOUGHT
OF HOW THOSE CHILDREN WERE TREATED.

I watched the film last night, talk about closing ranks within the System!

I didn't know of the film, but my Mother read the book Empty Cradles about 12 years ago, and told me about the mass deportation of children to the Colonies. I had no idea.

Obviously the film could not include everything in the book, but I found it a good watch.
