All Summer in a Day (1982)
Directed by Ed Kaplan
Overview
Based on the story by Ray Bradbury. Set on a planet where the sun shines for just a few minutes once every nine years, this is a classic tale of suffering and forgiveness. A classroom full of young children are excited to hear that today the rain will stop. However, they are also resentful of a new classmate from Earth who remembers what it’s like to see the sun. “This gripping, unsettling production softens the original story’s abrupt conclusion without diminishing its punch. A masterful work.” - Booklist. Winner of a CINE Golden Eagle, and honored by Instructor Magazine as one of the 25 Best Films of the Year.
