Street child

Jim Jarvis is a runaway in the 1860s London, a dangerous place for a small boy. When his mother dies, Jim is all alone in the workhouse and is desperate to escape. Jim's gripping adventure is based on the true story of the orphan whose plight inspired Doctor Barnardo to set up his famous children's refuge.
