I am Sam
Sam becomes a single parent almost unwittingly and struggles with the challenge of bringing up a daughter when he himself is 'a retard'. Soon social services are on to him and it is obvious to them that this is not good for Lucy. So they take her away and place her with a foster family. This, and Sam's struggle to retain custody, provides the story line.

I AM SAM A film by AOL Time Warner
A film without sex, violence, horror and swearing; no wonder it has a 12 certificate. But don't be fooled; this is a very grown-up film. It is designed to make you think - about prejudice, and about prejudice towards people with learning disabilities in particular.
