Synopsis


Based on true events, Song For A Raggy Boy is the tale of one man's courage to stand up and fight the tough fascist regime in a boys Irish Reformatory School in 1939. William Franklin's story is a powerful and dramatic journey, from the bullet riddled streets of Madrid during the Spanish Civil war to the confined walls of a reformatory School. This is one man's belief that he can make difference.
