A Little Princess
No miracle is ever too small.
Directed by Alfonso Cuarón
Produced by Warner Bros. Pictures, Baltimore Pictures
A visually enchanting coming-of-age story about a girl's resilience and imagination in the face of hardship, grounded in genuine warmth and the transformative power of kindness.
When her father enlists to fight for the British in WWI, young Sara Crewe goes to New York to attend the same boarding school her late mother attended. She soon clashes with the severe headmistress, Miss Minchin, who attempts to stifle Sara's creativity and sense of self-worth.
