Pay It Forward is a dramatic film about a social studies project done by the son of a single mom who is an alcoholic. To improve the world he proposes that people do three big favors for others, who in turn are forbidden to pay back the favor but to "pay it forward" to three other people. The idea is that it should get big very fast.
