One beautiful man. His story is true.

A sincere, humanistic drama about a dedicated teacher's mission to uplift isolated, underprivileged children and bridge the gap between their island world and broader possibility.

A young, white school teacher is assigned to Yamacraw Island, an isolated fishing community off the coast of South Carolina, populated mostly by poor black families. He finds that the basically illiterate, neglected children there know so little of the world outside their island.
