The Rainbow Kid is a 2015 Canadian drama film directed by Kire Paputts, telling the story of a traumatized adolescent runaway with Down syndrome in rural Northern Ontario. It was shown in the Discovery section of the 2015 Toronto International Film Festival.
The film, an expansion of Paputts' prior short film The Rainbow Connection, stars Dylan Harman as Eugene, a teenage boy with Down syndrome who sees a rainbow following a thunderstorm and, inspired by his favourite book, sets off on a journey to find the pot of gold at the end of it.
