In the early 60's my wife was thirteen when she, her older brother and younger sister were sent to Australia for a "better life" They endured several years of abuse at the Fairbridge Farm School being used as slave labour and in her case sexually abused. This movie is based on Margaret Humphrey's attempts to help some of the "children" find their parents and to be able to discuss their individual experiences. Very well documented. Shame on the British and Australian governments for not investigating the conditions in which these children had to endure.
