As I Lay Dying
“From the classic novel by William Faulkner”
Drama
Strife and disaster befall a poor Mississippi family during a two-day trip by horse and wagon to bury their deceased matriarch.
VIBE
A haunting, character-driven journey through rural poverty and familial obligation. It's a stark, unflinching look at grief and the often-absurd lengths people go to for what they believe is right, even amidst despair.
