Beyond the Orphan Train: A True Adventure
FLY LITTLE BIRD, FLY! and BEYOND THE ORPHAN TRAIN have recently been optioned by Los Angeles screenwriter William Rotko (BREACH, Universal Pictures) who is interested in making a movie that will bring the story of the orphan train movement to a larger audience. "It's very American - their journeys to find their places in the world. I'm attracted to true stories and these have a lot of heart. When you get into the minutiae of characters, you find a wellspring of drama, humor and adventure," he said.
