BRIGSTOCK Friday 17 February - Oranges & Sunshine (15) - 7.30pm Based on her own book, this film tells the grippingly disturbing story of how, almost single-handedly, against overwhelming odds and with no regard for her own personal safety, Margaret Humphreys, a social worker from Nottingham, uncovered one of the most significant social scandals in recent times. She reunited thousands of families, brought authorities to account and drew worldwide attention to an extraordinary miscarriage of justice. Children as young as four had been told that their parents were dead and had been sent to children’s homes on the other side of the world. They were promised oranges and sunshine, but they got hard labour and life in institutions. A scandal only brought to the attention of the public in the late 1980s through Margaret Humphreys courageous efforts. Doors open at 7pm, tickets £4 including free popcorn.
