About two year ago I seen a movie at my freinds house called Paperboy but not the movie made for United States.

I remember it was from Australian Children's Films because it said so at beginning of video. 

It had a ten year old boy who lived in poor family without no money so he got job as paperboy and he moved to a homeless shelter.  He brought money home to parents and he lived in shelter.

It was very good film and I felt bad because he got pushed around by older paperboy.  The boy slept and took shower in the homeless shelter but he was the only boy there with every one else a grown up man.

I wish this film was on dvd in USA.

More information from website about the "Winners" series. Quite a few other titles that might be of interest are described on that page:

And I was able to find this ridiculously small picture, from the Australian Children's Television Foundation website:

I can't even tell if hte boy's in the picture.

:laughing:

Yeah, that does look like two grown-ups in the picture.

I'm glad you mention that the boy looks younger than 13. That's a good sign, as I was afraid that it might be one of those cases where they say the boy is 13 but he's actually played by an 18-year-old.

That looks like a good series of made-for-tv films. I'd like to see this one, and a few others too.

We should do a profile for 'The Winners' series...  I saw most of the episodes when they were originally broadcast. The series was very good and it actually received quite a number of awards itself. There was also another similiar anthology style series produced in Oz around that time called Touch the Sun...  one episode in particular called Captain Johnno was particularly good. Both of these series deserve to be released on DVD.
