Unknown Premiere
Sounder
| USA | 104 MINUTES | EnglishWith Sounder, Martin Ritt realized a movie that almost perfectly projected his artistic and intellectual concentrations-stylistic directness, subtle and deeply moving work with his cast, stirring emotionality, and the embrace of a profound humanism. Based the award-winning book by the same name, Lonne Elder III's lyrical script dramatizes the story of the Morgans, a family of sharecroppers in 1930's Louisiana. When the father (Paul Winfield) is sent to prison for a petty theft, his young son (Kevin Hooks) sets out with his dog, Sounder, on a journey that transforms his view of the world and marks his first steps towards manhood. Cicely Tyson's Oscar®-nominated performance as Mrs. Morgan made her a star. (Ages 7+) Presented by Cinemuse and The Love Hallie Foundation.
