I'm trying to find out the name of a film but I have no idea where to start. I remember my mum watching it when I was very young and can only remember certain points. I'd appreciate it if anyone could help me find out what it is. Here's what I can remember:
If I remember correctly, the film centres on a boy who is born with what I think may have been Dwarfism. I think his mother dies in child birth but I'm not sure. The main plot happens when he is a teenager. I can't remember what happens throughout the film but it ended with him being on a schoolbus crashing into a river or lake when a deer walks in front of it. The boy then saves everyone but later dies in hospital with his friend by his side. I think there was something about this event being his destiny or something but, again, I'm not sure. It was an American or Canadian film from what I think was the 90s or late 80s but I could be wrong.
I know it doesn't sound like the happiest film but if you could help me I'd really appreciate it.
