SYNOPSIS
CONGRATULATIONS TO WINNER SARAH FRANCKE! Thanks to all who participated in the drawing. There will be another chance to win one of Ms. Nelson's beautiful paintings. Stay tuned...  PILGRIM SONG is the story of James, a pink-slipped middle school teacher who sets off to trek through Kentucky's Sheltowee Trace Trail. Unhappy with his relationship and place in the world, he hopes to find what is missing in the hills of Appalachia. Along the way, James crosses paths with Lyman and Bo, a father and son who take him in and help him rediscover what he has lost. The film will be shot in Kentucky in the summer of 2011. Martha's previous film, PASSENGER PIGEONS, continues its festival run.
