Review for Oranges And Sunshine NR Drama 1:45
by  John Thielking
11-5-2011

This movie is based on a true story. Margaret Humphreys (Emily Watson) is a social worker in the UK who uncovers a scandalous bit of the country's history.  From 1940 to 1970 hundreds of thousands of children as young as 4 years old were shipped off to orphanages run by a church organization in Australia.  The film chronicles a few of the now grownup children trying to reunite with their parents with the help of Margaret.  Three stars.

The movie ranks as nonviolent because there are only five violent scenes in it and no on screen deaths. There is a story about an attempted suicide, there is a death threat over the telephone, there is an angry man trying to break into a woman's house, there are more threats from a man in a car and there is a story about the torturing of young boys in slave labor.

The previews include: a nonviolent commercial and nonviolent previews for Young Goethe In Love, The Descendants, A Dangerous Method and Into The Abyss.
