Synopsis

In the golden age of Hollywood, one name stood out for young audiences everywhere—Carl Switzer, better known as "Alfalfa" from Our Gang (also known as The Little Rascals). "Alfalfa: The Story of Carl Switzer" dives into the complex life of the child star whose onscreen charm and signature cowlick made him an icon, but whose offscreen struggles reveal a much darker tale of early fame, ambition, and heartbreak. The film follows Carl from his small-town roots in Paris, Illinois, where he was discovered alongside his brother, to his meteoric rise in Hollywood as Alfalfa, a role that would bring him fame but ultimately trap him in a character he couldn’t shake. Behind the infectious smile was a young boy who wrestled with the pressures of an industry that didn’t know how to protect its youngest talents. As Carl grew up, he faced constant typecasting and struggled to find his place beyond Alfalfa, often forced to take small or uncredited roles to make ends meet. Desperate to reinvent himself, he became embroiled in turbulent relationships, risky endeavors, and brushes with the law.
