Thirteen-year-old Kenny lives with his family in the Pittsburgh suburb of West Aliquippa, Pennsylvania. He is just like any other kid his age, spending his free time skateboarding and sparring with his older brother, Eddy. The only thing separating Kenny from his peers is that he was born with an incredibly rare congenital condition that led to the amputation of his legs and pelvis.
A French-speaking Quebec film crew descends on Kenny's neighborhood to make a documentary about his adaptation to his unusual condition. The filming of the documentary puts a strain on Kenny, Eddy, and parents Sharon and Jesse. Tensions are exacerbated when Kenny's older sister moves back home, eager for the camera spotlight. Kenny is compelled to hit on the road on his own for a journey of self-discovery.
On August 25, 2022, Vinegar Syndrome issued a Blu-ray 4K release of The Kid Brother. The edition includes an interview with director Claude Gagnon and audio commentary from film historian Kier-La Janisse and film critic Ralph Elawani.[2][3]
