The Rainbow Kid is a 2015 Canadian drama film directed by Kire Paputts. It was shown in the Discovery section of the 2015 Toronto International Film Festival.[1]

The film, an expansion of Paputts' prior short film Rainbow Connection,[2] 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.[3]
