So I'm set to watch "Billy the Kid" by director Jennifer Venditti. It is a documentary....the kid is really named Billy, playing himself. Up until now I have been watching actors trying to portray. I'll post again when I'm done watching. Has anyone else seen this?

Wow, obviously no one is excited about this film as no one has yet to reply to my post.

"Billy the Kid" is a documentary. Billy is 15. He is self-aware that he is different, mentally, or that his brain is different. The documentary never discusses Asperger's Syndrome.

I never understand how they film a documentary. Isn't it obvious this guy with a camera is following him around? Through most of the film you see the little button mike clipped to Billy's shirt.

I'm glad the movie exists. I'm not going to invite my friends over to watch it.
