Sounder - The Movie

As I said in my last post, I would write a post about a movie we watched last night. It is called Sounder, and it is a Disney movie. Here is a trailer. It is not the version that I watched, but I think they are pretty much the same!

Sounder is a movie set in the 19th century. It is about a boy whose father is taken away unjustly, because he is black. The boy looks for his father, and travels far from home. He doesn't end up finding his father, instead he finds a book and a special friend. His friend is a black school-master who offers to teach him to read and write in exchange for the boy doing some of the teacher's chores.

Sounder is a movie based on the book by William Howard Armstrong. It is a truly touching movie, and I give lots of credit to that people who worked so hard to make this movie happen.

 

I hope you watch the movie or read the book, because I won't reveal anymore!

P.S. Sounder is a sad movie, just so you know.
