Part of the Movies that Matter with Hal Conklin film series.

Loosely based on the novel by John Irving, entitled A Prayer for Owen Meany, the film is about a boy with a debilitating birth defect who has a God-given faith, hope, and an enduring sense of his own destiny. Simon dwarfs the “normal” people of his town in stature, and yet challenges their superficial religious activities and beliefs. When they try to silence him and force him into accepting the patterns of their own disbelief, he stubbornly holds onto his own faith in God, and that destiny to one day be a hero.
