New WWII Movie

 

Homeschoolers! This is it—the movie we have been waiting for. For those of us determined not to wipe the Holocaust out of the history lessons in our homeschool, this new film helps us remember that though many were lost during this tragic event, many survived and went on to live full and rewarding lives. From the best-selling author of Wonder, the book that sparked a movement to “choose kind,” comes the inspirational next chapter. 

In White Bird, we follow Julian (Bryce Gheisar), who has struggled
to belong ever since he was expelled from his former school for his treatment of Auggie Pullman. To transform his life, Julian’s grandmother (Helen Mirren) finally reveals to Julian her own story of courage — during her youth in Nazi-occupied France, a boy shelters her from mortal danger. 

They find first love in a stunning world of their own creation, while the boy’s mother (Gillian Anderson) risks everything to keep her safe. From director Marc Forster (Finding Neverland and Christopher Robin), screenwriter Mark Bomback, and based on R.J. Palacio’s book, White Bird, like Wonder before it, is an uplifting movie about how one act of kindness can live on forever.

White Bird will be releasing in theaters on October 4th.
