Summaries

A girl navigates life with two intellectually-disabled parents and an extended family that can't quite agree on the best way to help.

Based on a true story, WILDFLOWER is a coming of age film that follows Bea Johnson from birth to graduation as she navigates life with two intellectually disabled parents and an extended family who can't quite agree on the best way to help.

Bea realized early in life that her family was different from those of her peers. Her parents, both intellectually disabled, made her accustomed to a level of self-sufficiency beyond her years while her classmates still relied on assistance with basic tasks like meal prep and tying shoelaces. Despite living in a humble home on the outskirts of Las Vegas, Bea found comfort and joy in her family's affectionate environment. However, she also felt the weight of responsibilities that extended beyond what was typical for a child her age. "Wildflower" delves into the complexity and disarray that can arise when multiple families share a common goal without agreeing on how to reach it.—Frank Liesenborgs
