Sky Blossom: Diaries of the Next Greatest Generation is a 2020 American documentary film directed by Richard Lui which profiles five students across the United States who are caregivers for their disabled military veteran parents or grandparents. Variety magazine named the film as a shortlist contender for the 2021 Oscars, and also qualified for that year's awards.[3] The film was the most widely distributed documentary of 2021.[4] It won the "Feature Film" category of the 72nd Christopher Awards.[5]
The documentary was released in theaters nationwide for one night only through a community partnership of AMC Theatres and Universal Pictures.[6] The film premiered at the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts with a drive-in theater event on Veterans Day 2020.[7][8] The film was later broadcast on MSNBC in May 2021.[9]
