Dir. Patrick Donohew US 2000
Seven Sisters is a new vision of Appalachia which powerfully evokes the coming of age
of seven women through their journey off the family farm. This is a story of heroism -
not in a grandiose, earthshaking way, but through a collection of small acts of sacrifice,
courage and generosity. At the center of it all are seven strong-willed and colorful women
- a family whose fierce bonds that hold them together. Featuring a soundtrack of traditional
popular music of the 1930s and 40s created by local bluegrass band, The Crooked Jades. (86m)
Special guest appearances at evening screenings.
