Blue
Skies
A feature-length documentary by Joel Kaswan Meilijson and Amira Stone
Rigorously observational, Blue Skies is a verité film that immerses viewers in one summer within Wisconsin’s Northwoods. Told through the eyes of kids, the experiential documentary witnesses how tradition, lineage, and relationship to land manifest in two distinct communities
who share the same zip code.
In Northern Wisconsin lies Forest County, home to two Native American reservations, 350,000 acres of national forest, unlimited fish fry, and not a single traffic light. An intimate portrait of summer, Blue Skies observes how tradition is shared and safeguarded across age, race, and class.
