Mississippi: Power of Place

Plot

The rich cultural heritage of Mississippi has produced some of the brightest of America's literary stars, including William Faulkner, Tennessee Williams, and Eudora Welty. Its musical legacy is centered in a blues tradition, of which Muddy Waters is an enduring symbol. In Mississippi: Power of Place, the viewer can see how this region has triumphed in the arts despite the lowest level of literacy in the nation, and a history of poverty. Gifted modern writers are profiled in the program: Lewis Nordan, Barry Hannah, and Donna Tartt, and actor Morgan Freeman talks about his childhood. ~ Alice Day, Rovi
