On a "bright, frozen day" in Mississippi,
95-year-old Phoenix Jackson makes her
mythic journey into town for the medicine
her grandson needs.

Touching upon themes of family, love,
aging, and poverty, this dramatization of
Eudora Welty's classic story "A Worn Path"
provides both a heroic image of the human
spirit enduring against tremendous odds
and a poignant commentary on the
African-American experience.

"The photography is superb...This video is a
visual feast. Very highly recommended."
--Video Rating Guide

"Wonderful for both readers new to Welty and
for devoted fans."
