The documentary's directors told Jezebel that Blume was initially hesitant to make such a film.
Additionally, the film features Blume reading passages from her own work . Along with sharing the flavor of her creative genius, these sequences illustrate how autobiographical Blume’s work really was. Through her fiction intended for minors, Blume expressed a lot of what was going on in her life—her 1972 book about divorce,, for example, forecast her eventual divorce from her first husband in 1975. In, from 1981, a young protagonist reels from the death of her father.
She added: “We asked her to read all these excerpts from her books, and I think she had been asked to read all those excerpts many times. ButI think she said she had never really read out loud. And so she was, I think, accessing that young woman she was when she lost her father... She really just was taken right back there.”Given Blume’s frank subject matter, it’s no surprise that her books have been banned over the years and attacked by right-wing blowhards.
