The Sweater is one of the most beloved animated films of all time. Based on Roch Carrier's short story, also known as "The Hockey Sweater," the film recounts the most horrifying moment of the author's childhood. Sheldon Cohen is the artist who adapted the story into animation and created a film that is as much about childhood emotions and the desire to fit in, as it is about hockey, the clash of cultures, and a harkening to bygone times. Now 30 years later, Sheldon delves into his notebooks, photographs, and memories to re-create the process he undertook to make The Sweater.
