A film that ultimately belongs to the Christian faith films genre, Little Boy was executive produced by Roma Downey from “Touched by an Angel” and her husband, Mark Burnett. The film is set in a small California town, where Pepper Flynt Busbee (Jakob Salvati) is a lonely 8-year-old boy while his father (Michael Rapaport) is off fighting in World War II. Small for his age, Pepper is bullied at school. Then his local priest (Tom Wilkinson) encourages Pepper to believe that with enough faith, he may be able to alter the course of the war. Pepper believes with everything he’s got, and the town begins to see some miraculous results. Emily Watson gives a moving portrayal as Pepper’s no-nonsense mom while Kevin James is cast as a lonely widower.
