THE EXTRADORINARY STORY OF A PERFECT IDEA...
It all started with the social studies teacher's extra-credit project: Think of an idea for world change, and put it into action.
Whilst this proved a little ambitious for most of his classmates, twelve-year-old Trevor thought he would start by doing something good for three people. But instead of paying him back, he would ask them to "pay it forward" by doing a favour for three more people.
If it all went to plan, Trevor thought, it would be the start of a long chain of human kindness...
Sound unlikely to you? Well a lot of other people had their doubts too - Trevor's teacher, his classmates, his mother, in fact everyone in his small California town.
It could never really work... could it?
Now a feature film starring Helen Hunt and Kevin Spacey.
