The Giver

The Giver centers on Jonas (Brenton Thwaites), a young man who lives in a seemingly ideal, if colorless, world of conformity and contentment. Yet as he begins to spend time with The Giver (Jeff Bridges), who is the sole keeper of all the community�s memories, Jonas quickly begins to discover the dark and deadly truths of his community�s secret past. With this newfound power of knowledge, he realizes that the stakes are higher than imagined � a matter of life and death for himself and those he loves most. At extreme odds, Jonas knows that he must escape their world to protect them all � a challenge that no one has ever succeeded at before. The Giver is based on Lois Lowry�s beloved young adult novel of the same name, which was the winner of the 1994 Newbery Medal.
