The United States of Leland

The United States of Leland is a 2004 dramatic movie by director Matthew Ryan Hoge about a meek teenaged boy named Leland P. Fitzgerald who has inexplicably committed a shocking murder. In the wake of the killing, his teacher in prison tries to understand the senseless crime, while the families of the victim and the perpetrator struggle to cope with the aftermath. (Note: The Internet Movie Database and some other sources consider this movie a 2003 release, dating it from its premiere at the Sundance Film Festival instead of its release to the public.)
