'Annie's Religion' is a story about a young girl from a Christian family who, against her mother's wishes, befriends her Jewish neighbors and must struggle to discern right from wrong in an era of prejudice. The film is inspired by the true story of Vi Sherman. Annie is an 8-year-old girl growing up in the 1950s when a young Jewish family moves into her predominantly Christian neighborhood. Concerned for her new friends' well-being, Annie kidnaps their infant daughter and baptizes her. Upon her return from the church, Annie is surprised to realize that not everyone appreciates her efforts.
