I, Candy(2018)

I, Candy is a documentary that deconstructs a drawing made by Candy Kugel at age six, using it as a lens to explore her life across decades. The film weaves together family history, period politics, and the social currents that shaped her coming of age. Kugel confronts anti-Semitism head-on, channels her experiences into political activism, and reflects on the role of chance, determination, and unconventional spirituality in navigating life's pivotal moments. What emerges is an intimate portrait of one woman's journey through a transformative era, told with wit and unflinching honesty.
