This cinematic love letter reveals the moral heroism of one of America's greatest undiscovered novelist - a thoughtful Southern writer whose social questions were too big for her little hometown. The film surveys the terrain of segregated post-war Mississippi as seen through the eyes of a sheltered plantation child who turns to confrontation and rebellion against American racial injustice and ultimately ends up in exile for her troubles. Through personal interviews, dramatic re-enactments, family recollections and testimony from some of today's best writers, Landscapes of the Heart paints a vivid and compelling portrait of a strong and elegant modern woman of letters. In a story spanning two continents, dozens of books and nearly a century this movie retraces her journey from Mississippi daughter to international literary star and back again.
