164712-145394-thumbnail.jpgThis week on TVOnario's SNAM two films connected with author Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings were shown. The first feature, "The Yearling"  was originally a Pulitzer prize winner. The second movie, "Cross Creek", is the life story of Mizz Rawlings as she makes a strategic move to the Florida Everglades in the 1920s in order to pursue her writing career.

Both films have a strong sense of time and place. Cross Creek Trees.jpg
