“Sometimes miraculous films come into being... blindsiding you with creative genius. Beasts of the Southern Wild is one of the year's best films.” -Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times
BEAST OF THE SOUTHERN WILD, was the winner of the Grand Jury Prize at the Sundance Film Festival. In a forgotten but defiant bayou community cut off from the rest of the world by a sprawling levee, a six-year-old girl exists on the brink of orphanhood. Buoyed by her childish optimism and extraordinary imagination, a fierce storm changes her reality. Desperate to save her ailing father and sinking home, this tiny hero must learn to survive unstoppable catastrophes of epic proportions.
