Organize a Group to See “Oranges and Sunshine”
- Movie Poster
“Oranges and Sunshine,” the film about social work heroine Margaret Humphreys, is premiering in U.S. cities over the next three weeks.
Humphreys, who is portrayed by Oscar-nominated actress Emily Watson, discovered Great Britain sent more than 100,000 foster children overseas without permission from parents.
These children were sent to Australia, South Africa and other British Commonwealth nations. Some were forced to work or abused. Others have struggled for years to overcome trauma and find their birth families.
The film follows Humphreys’ investigation of this practice and quest to get Great Britain and other nations to recognize and help the victims.
Cohen Media Group, the U.S. distributor of the film, wants social workers to see the film and is offering discounted group tickets in selected cities. Here is information on how to get them:
