The first of iconic author Judy Blume’s novels to be brought to the big screen, Tiger Eyes is the story of 17-year-old Davey Wexler, coping with the sudden, violent death of her father, and the emotional collapse of her mother. Set in Los Alamos, New Mexico, where the family abruptly relocates to be with relatives — and in the surrounding canyons and caves where Davey meets Wolf, a young Native American with his own secret, Tiger Eyes is spare yet romantic, emotional yet never sentimental. This is a universal story of love and loss, of a family torn apart, who slowly, painfully find the courage to face the future.
With Special Guest, Director Lawrence Blume.
