"I am David"
I Am David is adapted from Anne Holm’s internationally acclaimed novel of the same name. It is the story of a 12-year old refugee boy, David, who escapes a Communist concentration camp carrying only a compass, a pocketknife, a sealed letter, a bar of soap, a half loaf of bread, and instructions to journey to Copenhagen, Denmark. For the first time in his young life, David is thrust into the free world as he travels across Europe.

His is a spiritual journey of discovery during which David loses his mistrust of humanity and finds the ability to smile, share, trust and ultimately, to love. I Am David addresses the cruelties, politics, and suffering of warfare while celebrating the resilience and abiding optimism of youth.

Walden Media, Lion's Gate Entertainment and UNHCR
