Storyline
| Plot Summary |
Disenchanted by the church and his devout Christian mother, 19 year-old Donald escapes Texas for the liberal Northwest and attends Reed College at the urging of his secular father. At Reed College, Don discovers that he wasn't prepared for just how much more anti-religious and anti-everything his classmates, from all walks of life, prove to be. In an attempt to fit in, and--more importantly--to find himself, Don joins an activist group that forces him to question his actual beliefs. Written by napierslogs |

Did You Know?
| Trivia | The movie was made possible by the efforts of fans who refused to see the project die. A campaign on KickStarter was started after a September 16th blog post by Donald Miller that the project was dead due to the lack of backers. By the end of the funding period on October 25th, Save Blue Like Jazz had raised $345,992 (276% of the original $125,000 goal) from 4495 backers. This earned the project a Hall of Fame ranking on KickStarter as the highest funded project ever. See more » |
