The Story of George Muller
This a 2006 biographical docudrama that chronicles the extraordinary life and legacy of George Müller (1805–1898), a German playboy and thief who turned away from his criminal youth to become one of history’s most renowned philanthropists.
Directed and written by Crawford Telfer, the film explores how Müller relocated to Bristol, England, during the era of Charles Dickens, with a radical mission to rescue thousands of orphaned children from the brutal street life enslaving them. The documentary gets its unique title from his life’s achievements—he effectively “robbed” the cruel streets of Bristol of over 120,000 vulnerable children, providing them with housing, food, clothing, and education.
Key Details & Plot Breakdown
- The Radical Transformation: The film highlights Müller’s early days of rowdy living, drinking, and theft in Germany. While attending university, he experienced a profound Christian conversion that re-routed his life toward unconditional social welfare.
- The Principle of Absolute Faith: A core focus of the docudrama is Müller’s refusal to seek traditional financial help. He established multiple large-scale free orphanages and raised the equivalent of over £100 million in modern currency purely through prayer, without ever issuing public fundraising appeals or request letters.
- Production Style: The story alternates between dramatic reenactments, historical on-location footage, and narrations delivered by Russell Boulter.
Watch the full documentary to explore George Müller’s reliance on prayer and how he funded massive orphanages without ever asking for money.

Isaiah 58:6-8
[6]“Is this not the fast that I have chosen: To loose the bonds of wickedness, To undo the heavy burdens, To let the oppressed go free, And that you break every yoke?
[7]Is it not to share your bread with the hungry, And that you bring to your house the poor who are cast out; When you see the naked, that you cover him, And not hide yourself from your own flesh?
[8]Then your light shall break forth like the morning, Your healing shall spring forth speedily, And your righteousness shall go before you; The glory of the Lord shall be your rear guard.
