Stolen Summer is a 2002 American film about a Catholic boy who befriends a terminally ill Jewish boy and tries to convert him, believing it is the only way he will get to Heaven. Directed by first time writer/director Pete Jones, Stolen Summer is the first film produced for Project Greenlight, an independent film competition created by Matt Damon, Ben Affleck and Chris Moore, and sponsored by HBO.
