Titanic Boy

When most people are asked to name a life changing event in their adolescence, few people would claim the Titanic, a 100+ year old ship, had a profound impact on them. Yet 13 year old Luke proudly says 'The Titanic changed my life!' The film explores the life of this unique young boy whose interest in the Titanic has been both the cause of and solution to many of his problems.
