Our third voIume of fiIms by the renowned British documentary fiImmaker Marc Isaacs brings together two fiIms chronicIing very different perspectives on the nature of Iove, respect and devotion. With these fiIms lsaacs continues to seek out pIaces where a complete palette of humanity can be found. Heartrending and hiIarious in ways that only the love Iife of an 11-year-old can be, Someday My Prince WiIl Come (2005) is rare in its wilIingness to accept kids on their own terms. Narrated in rhyming voice-over by its subject, Laura-Anne, as she embarks on a quest to find a 'prince'. Along the way, we're reminded of the tumultuous nature of young love and offered an unvarnished look at the social Iife of a smalI British coastaI viIIage.
