BEING GINGER

At first this film seems to be a comedy about a red-haired man trying to find love, but through revealing moments, whimsical animation and real interviews, a universal story arises. Through captivating storytelling, we journey with the filmmaker as he lets the viewer into his thoughts, experiences, and internal processing of how his red hair has defined him. Finding oneself through finding love and being able to accept it can be experienced by all. While the film’s title highlights red hair, it is about much, much more. Everyone should watch this film and reflect on what makes them ‘ginger’ in their own life. And, of course, give a ginger some love. At Boedecker. — Boedecker Theater
