News & Reviews

A brave, powerful, and beautifully made film.

“13 Driver’s Licenses is a remarkable film, that we, at the Thomas Edison Film Festival, have been privileged to screen at many and varied venues throughout 2024.

Not only does the film tell a story that is unique and deeply moving, it has been thoroughly researched, is of the highest technical quality, and demonstrates the best of what a documentary can do.

It touches us, educates us, enlightens us, and moves us. Perhaps most importantly, it teaches us that young people are capable of empathy, bravery, and a level of understanding that is often absent in adults. I give this film my highest praise.” – Jane Steuerwald, Executive Director, Thomas Edison Media Arts Consortium/Thomas Edison Film Festival
