The Wild Child

At last an adult film to which you can take your children.

A patient, intellectually engaged historical drama about a doctor's attempt to civilize a feral child, balancing scientific curiosity with genuine human connection and the question of what it means to be human.

The true story of Victor of Aveyron. In a French forest circa 1798, an abandoned child — feral, filthy and mentally impaired — is found. Dr Jean Marc Gaspard Itard becomes interested in the case and patiently attempts to civilise the boy.
