The Angel Doll (2002)

In the heart of a 1950s small town, two boys from opposite sides of life's railway track find themselves intertwined in a journey of childhood and redemption. Whitey Black, a young boy identified by an unusual streak of white hair, struggles to survive in a world of poverty with his single mother and ailing younger sister, Sandy. Meanwhile, across town, Jerry Barlow enjoys the comforts of a middle-class existence with the security of a complete family and a doting younger brother. The wheels of fate steer Whitey and Jerry together into a shared paper route, where Jerry discovers Whitey's heartfelt wish to gift his sister an angel doll for Christmas – a doll that doesn't exist in their small town. United by a common goal, Whitey, Jerry, and a vibrant tapestry of town characters venture on a quest to find this elusive gift for Sandy. Their journey, punctuated by twists of luck, instances of theft, encounters with prejudice, and their blossoming friendship, serves as a telescope that magnifies the depth and diversity of their seemingly small world. This stirring narrative weaves a tale of innocence, resilience, and the power of friendship that transcends societal boundaries and opens doors to the immense universe within their small town.

The Angel Doll is a drama movie featuring Keith Carradine.
