An exciting, imaginative and beautifully shot contemporary telling of Dickens’ Oliver Twist - the harrowing tale of a street child’s search for love, identity, roots and family. Relocated to modern South Africa, all Dickens’ characters are reinterpreted for their new setting, as our hero travels from an orphanage in the dusty wastes of the Swartland to the Cape Town slums before finally discovering the happiness he seeks.

South Africa 2005, dir. Tim Greene, 115 min. Monkey Films (South Africa)
