Synopsis

Following the events from the last film, James - who was formerly homeless - now has accommodation but must continue to busk for long hours to keep the lights on. Accompanied on the streets by adorable cat Bob, who’s friendship gave him the strength to become sober last Christmas, James is reflecting on how much his life has changed. When local authorities see the two busking, they threaten to have Bob taken away, claiming they are concerned at the long hours he spends outdoors. After so many years isolated and homeless, James must find the courage to ask for help from those around him and learn that he’s not so alone after all. This heart-warming story is adapted from a series of memoirs and strikes a balance between exploring class and homelessness with themes of community and friendship.

What our educators say

"It really is a chance for us to open children's minds to the power of film not just as a vehicle for entertainment but also as a way in to understanding their own world and the worlds of people whose lives are very different."

- Marlon Perkins, Teacher, Whitstable and Seasalter Endowed CofE Junior School, Kent
