Fighting Father Dunne background

Fighting Father Dunne

In the early 20th-century, a priest sets out to uplift the lives of impoverished newsboys in New York City, seeking to instill hope and positive change in their dire circumstances.

In 1905 St. Louis, a determined parish priest named Father Dunne takes action to improve the lives of struggling newsboys, who are often homeless and living on pennies. He uses his resourcefulness and persuasive abilities to establish a cooperative orphanage for the boys, and later tackles the issue of escalating violence between rival newsboys fighting for prime selling locations.
