The Chocolate War (1988)


Released November 18th in the US.
Filmed entirely in Washington.
The story: Jerry is a freshman at the private Trinity Catholic High School for boys.
He lost his beloved mother to cancer last year and ever since he's been having some struggles.
When it becomes that time of year again when the students are to sell chocolates for a fundraiser, no one is thrilled.
This year it is important that they sell twice as many chocolates for twice as much money.
Jerry doesn't want to sell the chocolates and refuses to.
This is not acceptable.
