James Benning adds another remarkable work to his extensive filmography, driven by his tireless passion for cinema. little boy continues his exploration of his homeland's history, forming a thematic connection with his earlier work American Dreams (1984). The film weaves together footage of creating miniatures, political speeches from different eras, and an unexpected, beautiful soundtrack. As Benning himself puts it, he has created "a film looking at the past to warn about the future, from a little boy's point of view." (JIFF, Sung MOON)
