About the film:
Wonder tells the inspiring story of August Pullman who was born with facial differences that prevented him from going to a mainstream school until 5th grade. As his classmates and community learn about compassion and acceptance, Auggie's journey will prove you can't blend in when you were born to stand out.
After the film, UCalgary experts will lead the audience in a discussion and Q&A about mental health for today’s youth.
Presented by the University of Calgary's Alberta Children's Hospital Institute, Hotchkiss Brain Institute, The Mathison Centre for Mental Health Research & Education, Mental Health Research 4 Kids, and the Owerko Centre. Hosted in partnership with the Calgary Public Library.
