WHITE BIRD - Coming to Theaters on October 4, 2024
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, magical 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: A Wonder Story, like Wonder before it, is an uplifting movie about how one act of kindness can live on forever.

00:00 Little bug, little bug.
00:03 Boo!
00:04 Kramer, you scared the crap out of me.
00:07 I couldn't resist.
00:08 Tell me about this new school of yours.
00:14 Right now I'm just trying to fit in.
00:16 It's kind of been my motto ever since I left my old school.
00:18 Julia, you did not leave your old school.
00:20 You were expelled for being cruel to another boy.
00:24 I'm sure your father has told you stories about when I was a young girl.
00:28 He says you don't really like to talk about it.
00:30 I don't.
00:31 But now I think, for your sake, I must.
00:35 Little bug, little bug.
00:39 Excuse me.
00:40 Oh God, what is he doing?
00:42 I saw this on your desk.
00:44 Thanks.
00:45 You're welcome.
00:46 I didn't even know his name.
00:47 Look at this freak.
00:49 But we had in common one crucial thing.
00:53 These are really good.
00:54 For a Jew.
00:57 We had both seen how much hate people are capable of.
01:02 One of the children's missing.
01:04 Find him!
01:05 And how much courage it took to be kind.
01:08 You need to come with me right now.
01:10 I know a way out.
01:11 You stay with us, okay?
01:15 When in dark times,
01:20 those small things remind us of our humanity.
01:25 I'm ready.
01:26 I would like to visit New York tonight.
01:33 Sure.
01:34 Open your eyes.
01:36 You're the bravest person I've ever met.
01:45 You're the bravest person I've ever met.
01:47 You forget many things in life,
01:58 but you never forget kindness.
02:01 Because when kindness can cost you your life,
02:05 it becomes like a miracle.
