Our next presentation...Friday February 3rd 2012.
Oranges and Sunshine (UK/Australia 2010). 104 mins. Dir: Jim Loach. Cert. 15
Sponsor: LFS member
 Ken Loach's reputation as a film maker who exposed social injustice, especially in the treatment of the vulnerable, is such that it must have been quite daunting for son Jim to approach a story his dad would have wanted to tell.
Fortunately Jim is more than equal to the task. Oranges and Sunshine is a moving - and frankly astonishing - true story about an official Government policy towards children in care. It's a film that will make everyone who sees it wonder at attitudes towards children and how such a policy could have been implemented "in our name..."
