Details

Blue Like Jazz is a thought-provoking coming-of-age film that tells the story of 19-year-old Don, who is disenchanted by the church and his deeply religious mother. Seeking a new perspective, Don leaves his conservative Texas hometown for the liberal environment of Reed College in the Northwest, as suggested by his secular father.

However, upon arriving at Reed College, Don is confronted with a campus culture that is fiercely anti-religious and anti-everything he was raised to believe. Determined to fit in and discover his own identity, Don decides to join an activist group. This decision leads him on a path of self-discovery, as he is forced to question his own beliefs and confront the contradictions between his upbringing and the ideas he encounters at college.

Blue Like Jazz explores themes of faith, identity, and the search for meaning in a complex world. The film highlights the challenges that arise when individuals navigate different worldviews, and the struggle to find one's own sense of purpose amidst conflicting ideologies. With its nuanced exploration of these themes, Blue Like Jazz offers a poignant and thought-provoking experience for viewers.
