An Amazon Original Movie, Troop Zero
Troop Zero is an Amazon Original film that sees a young girl trying to get her way onto NASA’s landmark Golden Record. In order to do so, she must win the Birdie Scout Jamboree talent contest, as the winners will be included on the record. The only problem is that, because she is an outcast, the local Birdie Scout troop and their uptight leader have blackballed her. So in order to participate in the Jamboree, she’ll have to make a troop of her own. What results is that she manages to form friendships that will change her life forever.
Christmas Flint, played by Mckenna Grace, is a young motherless girl who always look up to the stars for visitors who will never come. Her quest to immortalize herself in the stars leads her to form a Birdie Scout troop of her own. She pulls her dad’s reluctant office manager, Miss Rayleen, played by Viola Davis, into her plan. Troop Zero is an endearing and magical tale set against a backdrop of beloved hits of the ’70s. Along the way, perhaps she’ll find the family she has been really looking for.
Troop Zero stars Viola Davis, Mckenna Grace, Jim Gaffigan, Mike Epps and Allison Janney. The movie is directed by Bert & Bertie a female writing-directing duo from London. The film was first premiered at Sundance Film Festival in February of 2019. It will have its official release to the rest of the world when it comes out as an Amazon Original movie. Troop Zero will premiere for the world on January 17, 2020.
