The Giver

It rocked our world WAY before Divergent. Would you choose the truth, no matter what? Now a major film, this is a classic story of a society built on censorship and lies. Jonas’s world is perfect. Everything in his Community is under control. There is no war, hunger, fear or pain. And there are no choices. All joys and sorrows – even colours – have been blocked out. The Giver alone holds the memories of the true pain and pleasure of life: its majesty, its horror. Now it is time for Jonas to receive the truth. There is no turning back.
