Wildflower
Directed by Diane Keaton
Produced by Carroll Newman Productions, Freed / FLaufer Productions
A earnest, character-driven drama about childhood friendship and resilience in the face of abuse and disability, grounded in rural Depression-era hardship.
One day Sammy and his younger sister Ellie happen upon a cabin where Alice, a young, partially deaf girl with epilepsy is being kept by her abusive stepfather. The three soon become friends and hope to get Alice an education and help her escape from the torture she undergoes daily. However, Alice's stepfather soon finds out about the friendship Alice has struck up and punishes her brutally. This story of friendship and youth shows that everyone is human and deserves to be treated so, no matter their disability or weakness.
