Synopsis

Set in Depression-era Alabama in the 1930s, To Kill A Mockingbird is a tale about the effects of racism, ignorance and injustice. An idealistic white lawyer takes the case of a Black man falsely accused of committing an awful crime against a white woman. The story is told from the perspective of the lawyer's six-year-old daughter, Scout, who observes the prejudice and integrity among the townspeople and those involved in the trial with fascination. The film is a thought-provoking interpretation of the Pulitzer Prize winning book by author Harper Lee.

What our educators say

"We are currently screening The Wizard of Oz, profound film that it is, and the last film Wall-E. It's been rewarding observing the KS1 6 year olds run the gamut of emotions from wonder to sadness to joy. "
