Certified SlopStolen Babies
Told by the mothers and children who were separated from one another, this landmark documentary reveals the full scale of the UK's forced adoption scandal. Over four decades, 250,000 unmarried mothers were forced by the British state to give up their babies. Their first-hand accounts expose the system that tore families apart, its lasting impact, and the fight to uncover the truth that led to a moment of national reckoning.

What people are saying
Updated nightlyThe reaction is overwhelmingly negative, with people finding its core story of the UK's forced adoption scandal deeply flawed and frustrating. The documentary, told through the first-hand accounts of mothers like Marion McMillan and Ann Keen, is criticized for feeling incomplete and failing to deliver a coherent or satisfying narrative. While the archive footage of figures like Keir Starmer and the raw testimonies are inherently powerful, the consensus is that the film's execution does a disservice to this devastating history.
