STOLEN BABIES: BRITAIN'S FORCED ADOPTION SCANDAL

A landmark feature documentary revealing the full extent of Britain's forced adoption scandal for the first time.

From the postwar era through the early 1980s, over 250,000 unmarried women across the UK had their babies forcibly taken for adoption by the state. In July 2026, the government accepted responsibility and apologised, with the Prime Minister calling it "a stain on our history", following similar apologies in Australia and across the Commonwealth.

Through powerful first-hand testimony from mothers, adoptees, former workers within the system, and those who exposed it decades later, the film uncovers the state-built systems behind one of the most significant human rights injustices of the modern era.
