A nuanced portrait of a new generation, Dear Thirteen is a cinematic time capsule of coming of age in today’s world. Through the eyes of nine thirteen-year-olds, we see how pressing social, geographical, and political challenges are shaping, and being shaped by, young people, including:
-
Rising anti-Semitism in Europe
-
Guns in America
-
Gender identity and racial divisions across Australia and Asia
With no adult commentary outside the filmmaker, Dear Thirteen offers an intimate view into the universal uncertainty inherent in growing up.
