Deaf Friendly Film Festival: Where The Crawdads Sing

About this event

A captivating adaptation of Delia Owens' bestselling novel

Abandoned as a child, Kya Clark, in a mesmerising performance from English actress Daisy Edgar Jones, survives alone, amidst the unforgiving marshlands and attitudes of 1950s North Carolina. An object of both curiosity and scorn, the mysterious and beautiful ‘marsh girl’ becomes the prime suspect when a popular local boy is found dead. Where the Crawdads Sing is a thoughtful, evocative, coming-of age drama about loneliness and sexuality in a rich, rural setting where intolerance and prejudice hide in plain view.

Dir: Olivia Newman. Stars: Daisy Edgar-Jones, Taylor John Smith, Harris Dickinson
