I Am David
An extraordinary family adventure, I AM DAVID follows a twelve year-old boy as he boldly escapes from an East European prison camp and makes an incredible personal journey to freedom.
Fleeing with only a compass, half a loaf of bread and a sealed, secret letter he must carry across the continent, David cannot foresee the dramatic odyssey that awaits him.
From stowing away on a ship bound for Italy, to facing his fears of the dangerous outside world, to the unexpected revelation of his true identity, David discovers for the first time the real meaning of courage, trust, laughter and hope.
Based on the internationally acclaimed young adult novel by Anne Holm, I AM DAVID celebrates the indomitable human spirit and captures the thrill of a child tasting the wonders and excitement of life for the first time.
The film is written and directed by Paul Feig (the Emmy-nominated creator of television’s “Freaks and Geeks”). The cast includes Oscar nominee and two-time Golden Globe winner Joan Plowright (“Enchanted April”), acclaimed American actor Jim Caviezel (“The Passion of the Christ”) and newcomer Ben Tibber in the role of David. The producers are Clive Parsons, Davina Belling and Lauren Levine.
