‘Judy Blume Forever’ Filmmakers Discuss Beloved Author Who Inspires Devotion, And Book Banning DeadlineContenders TV Documentary + Unscripted
“Judy today is almost more relevant than [ever. ]… Her books are banned today as much as they were in the ‘80s,” said Bernstein, president of Imagine Documentaries, the unit of Imagine Entertainment that produced the film. “It’s really important, obviously, that young people and all people are given a chance to decide what they want to read.
The documentary follows Blume’s remarkable journey from 1950s housewife and mother to becoming one of the bestselling novelists of all time. Her first husband, the film says, only tolerated her writing habit so long as it didn’t interfere with her raising their kids, and he never read any of her books.
“We’ve always thought of it as a sort of feminist coming-of age-story of Judy and then, sort of alongside that, her readers,” Pardo observed. “One of the things we love about Judy’s story is that the coming of age doesn’t end when you get your period. But throughout her life, she was coming of age.”
