SKY BLOSSOM is an inspiring film on today’s students taking care of family with disabilities
across America.
SKY BLOSSOM is a raw, inspiring window into 5.4 million students stepping forward as frontline
heroes. Caring for family with tough medical conditions, they stay at home doing things often
seen only in hospitals. They are cheerleaders, work part time, and go to college — but also live
double lives — quietly growing up as America’s next greatest generation. The filmmaker, veteran
journalist and award-winning CNN/MSNBC news anchor Richard Lui says the interviews were so
honest they genuinely surprised him, as they revealed insights into the lives of young people
across America. Troops used to look up and say, “Here come the Sky Blossoms”—paratroopers
rushing to their aid. Today, there is a new generation answering that call. These are their
stories.
