The film was selected by Student Council in an effort to reestablish the Winter Week movie as a tradition and reaffirm its purpose. “I think [this year’s] Student Council wanted to be clear and transparent about the purpose behind showing a movie,” Principal Allyson Mizoguchi said. “The idea in general is to have a shared experience amongst students that’s entertaining, educational and uplifting.”](https://waylandstudentpress.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/fullsizeoutput_14-900x600.jpeg)
