Subject of the film,Oranges and Sunshine, starring Emily Watson, this is the book that exposed the heartbreaking scandal of Britain's forgotten and abused child migrants, which has now been the focus of the Independent Inquiry into Child Sexual Abuse.
Margaret Humphreys is the Director and founder of the Child Migrants Trust, supported by Nottinghamshire County Council. For her services on behalf of the child migrants, she was awarded the Order of Australia - one of only a few Britons ever to have been so honoured, and she was appointed CBE in the 2011 New Year Honours list . She lives in Nottingham with her husband and two children.
It is a story that defies belief.
