I can still hear the kids' screams'

As a film examines the injustices of the child migration schemes, Susan Chenery talks to those left scarred by the shame of two countries.  In the winter the children left blood on the frost. Their bare feet stumbled on rocks that peeled the skin, but they were so numb with cold that they barely felt the pain.
They were children forced into hard labour; being punished for being born without hope. And punished again if they protested.
