To Kill a Mockingbird

The movie "To Kill a Mockingbird" is a powerful adaptation of Harper Lee's novel, set in the fictional town of Maycomb, Alabama, during the Great Depression. It explores themes of racial injustice, childhood innocence, and moral growth through the eyes of Scout Finch, a young girl growing up with her brother Jem and their father, Atticus.
