Synopsis

Based on the true story of Chris Gardner, The Pursuit of Happyness is a film of hope and triumph against all odds. Gardner is abandoned by his wife and left to raise his son alone. Dreaming of a career as a stockbroker, Gardner struggles to catch a break. Though times get so tough, he ends up sleeping in a toilet with his young son, Gardner never loses sight of his goal. At times, heart-breaking, but ultimately triumphant, this wonderful film urges us to follow our dreams.

What our educators say

"Some of them saw a clip from Wakolda (The German Doctor) on TV recently and really wanted to watch it. So I thought I’d take a chance, not expecting them to watch the whole film but the majority were absolutely gripped. "
