Tru Confessions is a 2002 American comedy-drama film released as a Disney Channel Original Movie.

She has a twin brother Eddie (Shia LaBeouf), who is developmentally disabled due to oxygen deprivation at birth.

With the documentary contest submission deadline looming, Tru is very anxious to come up with a suitable topic.

Tru then explores a subject which is personal to herself: she makes a video about her brother in which she highlights the positive influence that Eddie has had upon her life.

Deedee convinces Tru that nothing great has ever been achieved without sacrifices and that she'll be rewarded for showing her true self.

When Billy tells her that she is a freak just like her brother, Tru pushes him off the bridge into a creek below.

Tru decides not to reveal to her parents what happened, thinking that they won't understand (although she does tell her mother later on in vague detail).

Matters become more positive for Tru when she receives a letter telling her she won the contest, which means that her video will be broadcast on television.

To make matters worse, Tru's father is caught up at work (he is a brain surgeon) and is not able to get home in time for her show.

Unknown to the family, Tru's father watches the show on a hospital television and is touched by what he sees.

Tru comes to the saddening realization that as time passes she will live a normal life by going off to college, having a career, getting married and maybe having children of her own and Eddie will always be the same.

In one of the scenes, when the children exit the ferry, the shot shows the CN Tower and other major buildings in Toronto.

The school scenes were filmed at Danforth Collegiate and Technical Institute, which is located in Toronto.
