Finding Forrester

"For if we wait too long, we risk learning that life is not a game that is won... or lost... it is a game that, too often, simply isn't played."

Family isn't always what you're born with -- sometimes it's the people you find, sometimes it's the people who find you. From Oscar-nominated director Gus Van Sant comes Finding Forrester, an uplifting story about the unusual dynamic between an isolated author and the confident teenager who changes his life.

Through their unique, occasionally contentious alliance, Jamal navigates a new world outside of the South Bronx home he shares with his loving mother and brother. Forrester is Jamal's unlikely guide on his journey into the strange, strait-laced academic community in which he must now prove himself as a writer.
