Adolescent orphan Oliver Twist falls in with a group of street criminals led by the Artful Dodger and masterminded by the notorious criminal Fagin. When Oliver’s intended mark, Mr. Brownlow, takes pity on the boy and offers him a home, Fagin’s henchman Bill Sikes plots to kidnap the boy to keep him from talking. Set in Vancouver’s downtown east side, this modern twist on the classic tale exposes the gritty underbelly of child and youth homelessness and the role community plays in defining who we are
