I Am David

“Believe in the power to change your destiny”

A twelve-year-old boy slips out of a Communist concentration camp alone, carrying a loaf of bread, a compass, and a letter for someone in Denmark. David (Ben Tibber) has no map and no one to trust, and the people he meets along the road, Johannes (Jim Caviezel) and Sophie (Joan Plowright) among them, are strangers. Paul Feig, making his debut as a director, keeps the camera at David's height and lets the long walk north fill most of the film.
