Immensely powerful and moving. This is a story that needs to be told. Of the effects of the forced migration of children. Angering and saddening, I shouted through my tears watching this. The same truths as in Philomena told very differently but equally harrowing. Brilliantly acted and by everyone but of course by Emily Watson as always.
