It shows genuine feelings for each other, recounts enduring memories of their early lifestyle, informs as to how their successes have impacted on others and tells how they see their futures developing.



This production reveals much about human relationships and also evidences the effect on the Boys' growth of environment, education, recreation, religion, societal and social pressures, family and peers. It captures important aspects of their development, such as competition, engendered by street games, reunions, role models and career, personal and educational choices. Interviews with the Boys, their wives, children and parents are juxtaposed with photographs and film. Viewers will be able to gain an insight into urban life of a bygone era in terms of values, support systems, opportunities and obstacles to success.
