A movie based on the true life story of Paul Connolly. This film focuses on two key time periods of Paul's life - one in the infamous St Leonards Children's Home in the 1970s and as street wise, but vulnerable tough guy in the East End of London in the 1990's. The current title, Six From Eight relates to 6 of the 8 boys Paul grew up with who did not survive into their 30's.
