I think it would be a very sad movie to watch. I lived next door to a man who had been sent over here (Aus.) during the 50's. He had a dreadful childhood before and after being sent over here. It left him with emotional issues and even though he had a loving wife and two wonderful children he was damaged by all he went through. Sadly he passed away a couple of years ago aged only 62.

I think i`d like to see it Gwyn....

I go to the cinema fairly regularly if i can...{ Really like seeing films on the big Screen} don`t think they quite make the same impact watching them at home.


Read a write up about it in the paper yesterday....the critic wasn`t too impressed, said its more like a documentary than a film....but i always like things based on true stories so think I will enjoy it.

Daughter gave me an I.O.U. a trip to see this, in with her Mothering Sunday card.
We hope it may be shown more locally , otherwise we will go to Canterbury to see it.

Anyone else seen it or going?
