Jeremy's Egg was inspired by Ida Mae Kempel's award-winning, internationally published, true short story, "What Was in Jeremy's Egg?"
Twelve-year-old Jeremy is terminally ill and the only special-needs child in second grade. One day his teacher gives her students plastic eggs with the instructions to fill them with something that symbolizes Easter and new life. Jeremy's response to the assignment astonishes her, his classmates, and the Navy pilot who is his friend.
Based on a true story, Jeremy's Egg is a surprising and inspirational film for the whole family.
