Divergent DVD (2014) Shailene Woodley, Burger (DIR) cert 12 Englist Brand New

Sci-fi adventure directed by Neil Burger and based on the first novel in Veronica Roth’s trilogy. In a future where society is divided into five distinct factions based on personality traits, Beatrice ‘Tris’ Prior (Shailene Woodley) undergoes a test to determine which faction she belongs to. Afterwards, she finds out she meets the criteria for more than one and is therefore Divergent - a rare occurrence which puts her and others like her in danger. Her secret is known only to a small number of people and she is forced to make a decision about which faction to join. In the end, she opts for Dauntless, a faction made up of the brave, and as she undergoes initiation, her fellow members begin to grow suspicious of her and her behaviour. On top of this, she also uncovers a plot by another faction’s leader (Kate Winslet) to seek out and destroy all Divergents, making the potential threat of exposure all the more dangerous.
