Inspiring tale of boy overcoming trials and tribulations.

A compressed retelling of six award-winning documentary films shot between 1980 and 1999, The Boy David Story travels between Peru, Spain, Scotland and the USA to recount the life of David Lopez Jackson – a baby abandoned in the Amazonian jungle of Peru suffering horrific facial disfigurement.

Effectively kidnapped from a pauper’s hospital in Lima by Swiss charity worker Martine Schopfer, David is introduced to Scottish plastic surgeon Ian Jackson, who then undertakes a series of groundbreaking procedures to reconstruct David’s face. Having relocated to America, Jackson and his family decide to adopt the boy but encounter a nightmare of red tape which forces Marjorie Jackson to venture deep into the Peruvian jungle to find David’s biological parents.
