The Removed is a short film shot locally in West Melbury, starring Call The Midwife’s Georgie Glen and Bridgerton’s Tom Christian.
In England and Wales between 1949 and 1976, 185,000 babies were removed from their mostly young unmarried mothers. The film examines the lifelong effects of forced adoption and one woman’s search for a lost past.
Writer and Director, Rebecca Rose says: “I have been working with an incredible group who are campaigning for a formal apology from the UK government for the part it played in the historic injustice of forced adoption. Some of these women will be joining us at the screening.”
