The haunting story of THE GIVER centers on Jonas, who lives in a seemingly ideal, if colorless, world of conformity and contentment. Not until he is given his life assignment as the Receiver of Memory does he begin to understand the dark, complex secrets behind his fragile community. The film is based on Lois Lowry’s beloved young adult novel of the same name, which was the winner the 1994 Newbery Medal and has sold over 10 million copies worldwide.
Now playing in theaters nationwide, “The Giver” is about a seemingly perfect Community where the elders have eradicated pain and suffering from daily life. Community roles such as “nurtures” and “pilots” are assigned, family units are limited to two children, and imperfect babies are discarded.
