Mark Twain's immortal comic tale of the fraud, hypocrisy and bigotry of adults as seen through the eyes of an innocent boy and his friend Jim, a runaway slave. As they make their way along the Mississippi, they meet a motley collection of self-important characters and try their best to understand them despite their obvious flaws.
Synopsis
A retelling of Mark Twain's classic novel of a young boy's adventures after he escapes from his abusive father, and his relationship with a runaway slave.
