    Editorial Reviews

    A young boy is sent on a remarkable odyssey as he flees a Communist prison camp in this historical drama, set in Eastern Europe in the early '50s. David (Ben Tibber) is a 12-year-old boy who was sentenced with his parents to a Bulgarian labor camp when they were found guilty of political subversion; he hasn't seen his folks in years, and looks to fellow inmate Johannes (Jim Caviezel) for protection and guidance. One day, David is able to escape, and as he flees, he is given a sealed envelope with strict instructions that he is to travel to Denmark, and he cannot open the letter until he gets there. David makes his way to Greece, stows away on an Italian ship, and is befriended by Maria (Viola Carinci), a girl he saves from a fire. Maria convinces her wealthy family to take David in, but when they become curious about his background, David realizes he's in danger and is soon on the run once again. In time, David makes friends with Sophie (Joan Plowright), a kind Swiss woman who gives him a home and is willing to help him complete his long journey. I Am David was adapted from the novel North to Freedom by Anne Holm, and represented a change of pace for director Paul Feig, best known for his work on such offbeat television comedies as Arrested Development and Freaks and Geeks.

    November 21, 2008: I wasn't sure about this movie; I came in on the middle of it and I was curious as to why this little boy was wondering around on his own. It pulled me in. It was touching and yet didn't overdo the sadness of his story. Needless to day I bought it and watched the whole thing; it didn't disappoint.

    A surprising Must-see movieby Anonymous

    April 20, 2006: This is the story of a young boy's escape from oppression in a 1950's Communist work camp, and his efforts to get to Denmark, and freedom. The acting is wonderful, the plot and direction is excellent, and there is a wonderful twist at the end. I loved it.
