Synopsis

When sheriff Barnum investigates the death of an elderly rural resident, he discovers a teenage grandson living in the basement. Raised by his grandparents, he has experienced the world only through books, never leaving the family farm. He is sent to a state home for boys where he has trouble fitting in socially. His odd appearance and unusual abilities cause the small town residents to fear and ridicule him. However, not all are afraid. Some begin to view his potential and gifts with wonderment. —IMDb

This movie taught me so much when I was a kid, 1 moms favorite movie, great birthday present and I had to wach it with her to get what ever I wanted, 2 be what you want to be and raise your head high. One scene that will never lose my fascnination is the storm scene and what powder does to the guy that pushes him in the dirt puddle, that has always shown me who to be and until what limit we should give in. Love this!

I remember the school showed this too us. I'm not sure why, maybe for social acceptance? Ironically, it was Religion class. Yes, social acceptance.
