Billy the Kid is a 2007 Documentary film directed by Jennifer Venditti. Billy the Kid is a sensitive and humorous about a kid named Billy, a 15-year old outsider growing up in small town. Billy appears, in many ways, like other teenage boys. He's into heavy metal, is desperate to find a girlfriend, and dreams of a career as an actor and rock star. Yet in other ways Billy is unique. A troubled past and ongoing issues have left him marked. But he is not sorry about his personality and refuses to be a vicitim, creating his own techniques to help him survive in an environment of pain. Billy is funny, sharp, strangely wise for his age. We witness life from his perspective from intimate conversations with his mother, to being bullied at school, to his fantasies of becoming a superhero. "I'm not black, I'm not white, not foreign, just different in the mind. Different brains, that's all," says Billy.
