About the documentary:
Renowned writer Eudora Welty is explored through intimate photographs and charming interviews with family and friends set against the backdrop of Jackson, Mississippi. A film by Anthony Thaxton, Eudora is a revealing portrait of adventure, daring, humor, and love as we meet a writer we only thought we knew.
The documentary screening is made possible by the generous support of The Phil Hardin Foundation, which also helped underwrite the making of Eudora.
