NOW A MAJOR MOTION PICTURE NOMINATED FOR AN ACADEMY AWARD\u00ae FOR BEST PICTURE AND DIRECTED BY ACADEMY AWARD\u00ae NOMINEE RAMELL ROSS <\/p>\n

When Elwood Curtis, a black boy growing up in 1960s Tallahassee, is unfairly sentenced to a juvenile reformatory called the Nickel Academy, he finds himself trapped in a grotesque chamber of horrors. Elwood\u2019s only salvation is his friendship with fellow \u201cdelinquent\u201d Turner, which deepens despite Turner\u2019s conviction that Elwood is hopelessly naive, that the world is crooked, and that the only way to survive is to scheme and avoid trouble. As life at the Academy becomes ever more perilous, the tension between Elwood\u2019s ideals and Turner\u2019s skepticism leads to a decision whose repercussions will echo down the decades.<\/p>\n

Based on the real story of a reform school that operated for 111 years and warped the lives of thousands of children, The Nickel Boys is a devastating, driven narrative that showcases a great American novelist writing at the height of his powers and \u201cshould further cement Whitehead as one of his generation’s best” (Entertainment Weekly).
