Synopsis

An eleven-year-old boy lives in an abandoned riverboat and dreams of being a poet. He makes friends with a girl his same age from a wealthy family who is secretly drunk most of the time. Impeccably acted and photographed, I AM’s complex emotional empathy never falters. –siff.net

Dorota Kędzierzawska

Dorota Kędzierzawska (born 1 June 1957 in Łódź) is a Polish director of feature and documentary films.

Kędzierzawska graduated from the National Film School in Łódź in 1981 but prior to that had completed a course in cultural studies at the University of Łódź and studied film directing in Moscow for two years.

In her films Kędzierzawska concentrates on the experiences of disadvantaged children who contend with a difficult financial situation, rejection by adults, or both. Her characters are usually women, hopelessly fighting for the love of their men. —Wikipedia
