Synopsis

Kid Moses takes us on an intimate journey through the hustle and violence of the streets of Dar es Salaam where Moses scrapes out a meagre existence. He escapes to an up-country orphanage, and later the remote wilderness of Tanzania, before returning to the street he calls home. Despite the awful cruelty of his world, Kid Moses reveals the fundamental compassion that resides within most of us.
