Synopsis

Heartrending and hilarious in ways that only the love life of an 11-year-old can be, this British doc is certain to provoke lots of discussion and perhaps some controversy. Rare in its willingness to accept kids on their own terms, Someday My Prince Will Come is narrated in rhyming voice-over by its subject, Laura-Anne, as she brings us along on her quest to find a “prince.” Along the way, we’re reminded of the tumultuous nature of young love and offered an unvarnished look at the social life of a small British coastal village.

Love Marc Isaacs other docs; especially Lift and The Last Border. He always asks questions that make people feel a little uncomfortable, but the answers are so revealing.

I watched this film when it first came on the website and I've thought about it every day since then. There's something about the honesty in the children that stays with you.
