A short film about a man, his stories and the boy who listened, directed by Lucy Tcherniak.

The film tells the story of an unlikely friendship between an old Congolese man and a young runaway, living rough on the streets. The Truth About Stanley is a story about friendship, loss, and the way in which we choose to deal with personal trauma. For Stanley, what he lacks in material possessions, he makes up for with his vivid imagination and an insatiable desire to tell stories.
