This biopic unfolds the story of the philanthropist Christina Noble, who started a foundation in her own name to help impoverished and at risk children in Vietnam and Mongolia. Three actors (Gloria Cramer Curtis for the child, Sarah Greene for the teen and Deirdre O’Kane for the matriarch) play Noble as she endures a traumatic 1940s urban Irish childhood (early dying mum, alcoholic dad, abuse, homelessness) before a dream sends her to south-east Asia to help kids.
