Cinderella Man
Dear Parent/Guardian:

We have been studying the Great Depression in Social Studies. At the end of this
unit we will be view the movie Cinderella Man on March 26-27 The movie is rated
PG-13. Below is a short synopsis of the movie:
During the Great Depression, a common-man hero, James J. Braddock--a.k.a. the
Cinderella Man--was to become one of the most surprising sports legends in history. By the
early 1930s, the impoverished ex-prizefighter was seemingly as broken-down, beaten-up
and out-of-luck as much of the rest of the American populace who had hit rock bottom. His
career appeared to be finished, he was unable to pay the bills, the only thing that mattered
to him--his family--was in danger, and he was even forced to go on Public Relief. But deep
inside, Jim Braddock never relinquished his determination. Driven by love, honor and an
incredible dose of grit, he willed an impossible dream to come true.

Your child is not required to view this movie. An alternative assignment related to
the unit being taught will be provided if you do not grant permission for your child
