Synopsis :
“I’m not black, I’m not white, not foreign, just different
in the mind. Different brains, that’s all,” explains Billy in
this sensitive and humorous vérité portrait of a 15-year-
old outsider growing up in small town America. Jennifer
Venditti’s highly acclaimed, award-winning documentary,
Billy the Kid is a coming-of-age story, like no other, an
odyssey into the soul of a shy but uniquely articulate
teenager. Following Billy as he bicycles through the quiet
streets his small town in Maine, we watch him traverse
the frustrating gap between imagination and reality,
grappling with isolation and first-time love. Through the
directors sensitive direction we see the world from the
point of view of an expressive and seemingly fearless
outsider. While Billy often appears a little atypical, he is
nevertheless easy to identify with as he traverses the
complexities of growing up while still trying to come
to terms with a painful and dislocated childhood, Both
exhilarating and unsettling, this portrait challenges the
viewer to understand this triumphant teen on his own
terms.
