The Chocolate War

Sometimes revenge is bitter, not sweet.

A dark, tension-filled coming-of-age drama about institutional power, mob mentality, and the cost of individual resistance in a Catholic boys' school.

Jerry, a new student at an elite Catholic prep school, must face the hazing practices handed down by the Vigils, a group of powerful students. When teacher Brother Leon pushes the students to sell chocolates for a fundraiser, the head of the Vigils, Archie, gets Jerry to reject selling for 10 days. However, Jerry decides to keep up the refusal past the original time frame, which pits him against the Vigils and the school staff.
