In Judy Blume Forever, Emmy-winning filmmakers Davina Pardo and Leah Wolchok examine the beloved author’s profound impact, tracing her journey from a fearful, imaginative child to a storytelling pioneer who captivated millions, to one of the country’s most banned writers waging an ongoing war against censorship. Through interviews with cultural icons and personal letters from her decades-long correspondence with fans, the film shows how Blume’s radical candor about sexuality has comforted kids and teens across generations and borders.

The Q&A will be moderated by screenwriter Jenelle Riley.
