Synopsis

Boy Called Twist is the harrowing tale of a South African street-kid’s search for love, based on Charles Dickens’ classic Oliver Twist. Growing up neglected in a rural orphanage, Twist escapes to the unpredictable freedom of Cape Town, where he falls in with Fagin’s gang of street urchins.
