This is a movie I watched a long time ago on TV, so I'm not sure when it was released. It was set in the UK, and the story follows a teenage boy in sometime in the early 1900s. I'm guessing the time frame here but it seems to be around that based on the story. They show his friends and family and various things that happen in his life. There is one scene where his teacher tells the class that America is where the future is. I also remember...
