We are very excited to invite you to the Melbourne Fundraiser screening of Oranges and Sunshine – the extraordinary true story of Margaret Humphreys, a social worker from Nottingham, who uncovered one of the most significant social scandals of recent times: the deportation of thousands of children from the United Kingdom to Australia.
Almost single-handedly, against overwhelming odds and with little regard for her own well-being, Margaret reunited thousands of families, brought authorities to account and drew worldwide attention to an extraordinary miscarriage of justice.
Starring Emily Watson, Hugo Weaving and David Wenham, and from the Oscar winning producers of The King’s Speech, Oranges and Sunshine is an incredible story of courage and compassion.
“A powerful real-life story told with sensitivity and grace. Emily Watson is on staggering form” - Time Out.
Date: Tuesday 14 June, 2011
Time: 6:00pm for a 6:30pm start
Venue: Kino Cinema (45 Collins Street, Melbourne)
