Wildcat
Ethan Hawke
Can scandalous art still serve God? Does suffering precede all greatness? Can illness be a blessing? In 1950, writer Flannery O'Connor visits her mother Regina in Georgia when she is diagnosed with lupus at twenty-four years old. Struggling with the same disease that took her father’s life when she was a child and desperate to make her mark as a great writer, this crisis pitches her imagination into a feverish exploration of belief.
Join us for a very special discussion on the film Wildcat and Flannery O’Connor’s life with UAB Creative Writing Professor Kerry Madden-Lunsford and Catholic author Amy Welborn, both Flannery O’Connor scholars on Sunday, Mayy 26th at 8:30pm.
