Annie (2014)
Overview
Annie is a young, happy foster kid who's also tough enough to make her way on the streets of New York in 2014. Originally left by her parents as a baby with the promise that they'd be back for her someday, it's been a hard knock life ever since with her mean foster mom Miss Hannigan. But everything's about to change when the hard-nosed tycoon and New York mayoral candidate Will Stacks—advised by his brilliant VP and his shrewd and scheming campaign advisor—makes a thinly-veiled campaign move and takes her in. Stacks believes he's her guardian angel, but Annie's self-assured nature and bright, sun-will-come-out-tomorrow outlook on life just might mean it's the other way around.

Primary
The film leans left by critiquing corporate greed, political opportunism, and the failings of the foster care system, with its central problem highlighting systemic neglect and exploitation, even though the solution primarily involves individual transformation and philanthropy.
The 2014 film 'Annie' demonstrates significant diversity, equity, and inclusion primarily through its casting choices, explicitly recasting traditionally white lead roles with minority actors. While the narrative itself focuses on themes of family and personal growth, it does not explicitly critique traditional identities.
Secondary
