I Am Sam (2001) is a heartfelt drama that tells the story of Sam Dawson, a man with an intellectual disability, who fights for the custody of his seven-year-old daughter, Lucy. Played by Sean Penn, Sam is a loving father whose limited mental capacity becomes the focal point of a legal battle when authorities question his ability to provide adequate care. With the help of a high-powered but emotionally distant lawyer, Rita (Michelle Pfeiffer), Sam navigates a challenging judicial system, ultimately demonstrating that love is more important than intelligence in parenting. The film is a moving exploration of family, prejudice, and the power of unconditional love, driven by Penn’s critically acclaimed performance.

The I Am Sam soundtrack is a tribute to The Beatles, featuring covers of their iconic songs performed by various artists. Due to licensing restrictions, the original Beatles tracks could not be used, leading to a reimagined collection of classics by musicians like Eddie Vedder (You've Got to Hide Your Love Away), Rufus Wainwright (Across the Universe), and The Black Crowes (Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds). The album successfully captures the emotional essence of the film, reinforcing its themes of love and perseverance while celebrating the enduring influence of The Beatles' music.
