Billy Elliott (Universal Studios, 2000, R)

The son of a struggling British miner forsakes boxing lessons for ballet. With the support of an undaunted teacher played by Julie Walters, the young actor Jamie Bell flies across the stage in an exhilirating story of self-discovery, leaping to ballet school in London and the eventual lead in Swan Lake. What are the personal and familial costs of pursuing a call? What is the role of friendship in discernment?
