And Specials: Tru Confessions
Synopsis:
Tru
Confessions tells the story of Trudy "Tru" Walker (Clara Bryant
of Disney Channel’s Under Wraps), a precocious teenager
who dreams of becoming an investigative reporter.
When a local
public access station has a "Win Your Own TV Show" contest, Tru
jumps at the chance to show her stuff by putting together a video
documentary about her twin brother, Eddie (Shia LaBeouf of Disney
Channel’s Even Stevens).
After Eddie
was deprived of oxygen in the womb, he was left developmentally
disabled. Although she loves her brother dearly, Tru is constantly
guilty that she is healthy and growing up normally while Eddie
is not. However, she has no one with whom to discuss her feelings;
her father has become a workaholic to keep from having to face
his son’s disabilities, and Tru doesn’t feel as though she can
open up to her mother (Mare Winningham).
The documentary,
then, becomes a perfect outlet for Tru to express herself. Through
the process of making her film, Tru comes to truly appreciate
Eddie for who he is and to understand that his situation is not
her fault. Further, Tru’s film helps her father come to terms
with his son’s
