Today, January 24th, on the occasion of Remembrance Day, all our Junior High School classes went to the Visionario cinema in Udine to watch “Wonder – White Bird”.
The movie recounts the story of Sara, a 15 years old who lives in Alsace in 1942, in the part of France not yet occupied by the Nazis. However, the German presence gradually becomes stronger and the sweeps begin. She will be saved by the family of Julien, a boy suffering from polio, whom she previously kept at a distance. A strong friendship is born between the two, which will develop over the long period in which they will have to remain hidden.
Wonder is a film for children and families that encourages humanity and activism. Loving and being kind is human. But being aware is not enough. We have to prove it.
