“One beautiful man. His story is true.”
Drama
A young, white school teacher is assigned to Yamacraw Island, an isolated fishing community off the coast of South Carolina, populated mostly by poor black families. He finds that the basically illiterate, neglected children there know so little of the world outside their island.
VIBE
A deeply affecting story of a determined teacher battling systemic neglect and prejudice on a remote island. It's a powerful, character-driven drama that inspires with its message of hope and the transformative power of education.
