One of the most distinctive Southern writers of the 20th century, the enduring legacy and creative prowess of Flannery O’Connor come to life in this documentary tribute spanning the life and times of her iconic work. Voiced by actress Mary Steenburgen, O’Connor’s singular prose jumps off the screen while archival footage, photographs, and interviews with the likes of Tommy Lee Jones, Conan O’Brien, and Alice Walker expand our understanding of this eminent and formidable American stalwart.
