White Bird

White Bird

Poignant and inspirational” - Variety

From the best-selling author of Wonder, the book that sparked a movement to “choose kind,” comes the inspirational next chapter: White Bird.

Julian has struggled to fit in ever since he was expelled from his former school for bullying Wonder’s Auggie Pullman. To transform his life, Julian’s grandmother, played by Oscar winner Helen Mirren, reveals to Julian her own story of courage: as a young Jewish girl in Nazi-occupied France, a boy shelters her from mortal danger. They find first love in a stunning, magical world of their own creation, while the boy’s mother (Gillian Anderson) risks everything to keep her safe.

A coming-of-age period drama directed by Marc Forster (Finding Neverland, Christopher Robin), this uplifting and triumphant film shows how one act of kindness can live on forever.
