The Kid in Blue is an in-progress documentary that delves into the intricate tapestry of growing up Jewish in America. Told through the evocative lens of childhood memories and personal family diaspora stories, it offers an intimate exploration that will resonate deeply for both Jewish and non-Jewish audiences of varying demographics.
The project’s mission is to combat antisemitism through human and organic storytelling, sharing personal memories and reflections of the Jewish diaspora through unique viewpoints of growing up Jewish in America. Bridging cultural and political divides, the film will be a call to action for peace and respect.
The Kid in Blue is produced by Moonshot Creative Studios, LLC and directed by Heather Shaw, whose prior documentary "Telephone" (co-directed, co-produced with Krishna Washburn) was featured in the New York Times and screened across the country including Lincoln Center, NYU, Mill Valley Film Festival, Pacific Northwest Ballet, Carnegie Mellon University, San Francisco Dance Film Festival and more.
