Billy Elliot

In a mining town in northern England during the 1984 miners' strike, an eleven-year-old boy discovers his passion for ballet. Defying class prejudice, his father's disapproval, and the harshness of his environment, Billy fights to pursue a dream that seems impossible. Stephen Daldry directs with sensitivity and power an emotional film about the value of talent, the courage to be oneself, and the transformative power of art.

One of the most exciting films in British cinema. Jamie Bell is phenomenal. The final scene will break your heart.
