Judy Blume is alive and well.  While no longer writing books, at 85 she still bikes around the lively streets of Key West, stopping in to tend the book shop she bought a few years ago.  And she serves as the vivacious, charismatic center of “Judy Blume Forever”.

Directors Davina Pardo and Leah Wolchok sat down with Mike Merrill to discuss how their film centers Blume both within a coterie of authors she influenced as well as within the shifting cultural landscape of the key years that she was writing–the 1970s–that are still resonating in our world today.  

Judy Blume forever is now streaming on Amazon Prime.
