2: Marjorie's Quest
Marjorie Jackson has loved and cared for the Boy David through more than 50 operations in the past eight years. But his future is at risk because he has no papers, no identity, no legal status in America or Britain. So Marjorie decides to travel with the film team into the Amazonian jungle to see if she can discover the proof she needs to protect the Boy David's future.
It is truly one of the most moving and incredible modem -day fairy tales -a story of love, compassion, skill and, above all, the undaunting courage of a nine-year-old boy.
