The story of Arthur has been documented and can be found all over the web. The following is an ESPN documentary.
AudioBook
The AudioBook is available for the first and second editions.
The Film
This is a movie, not a documentary, so they took some serious creative liberties with the story. There are quite a few inaccuracies. One of them: the story takes place in the Dominican Republic instead of Ecuador.
It’s still cool to see Arthur’s story on the big screen!
We have a worksheet for students to compare the book and the movie and separate fact from fiction.
