War Eagle, Arkansas deserves the hype:
It did the heart good to see the massive turnout for War Eagle, Arkansas, the premier film for this year's Little Rock Film Festival Riverdale was so packed that roughly 150 people had to be turned away, even after the theater opened a third screen at the last minute. Fittingly, the film ended up taking home the inaugural Charles B. Pierce Award for Arkansas Film. How much better, then, that the movie didn't suck. Indeed, it was a damn fine film, about as honest and pretty and true a love song to small town life in the Ozarks as anyone could muster. It managed to avoid going all Folksy McLeghorn on us. It managed to avoid lionizing or demonizing life in the road's wide spot. It managed to avoid self-conscious use of y'all and references to kudzu and lemonade. It simply was what it was, a story about friendship and the pull between dreams and limitations. Read whole review here
Product Description
Based on a true story, War Eagle, Arkansas has won more than 20 Best Picture and Best Actor awards in film festivals throughout the country with its inspiring story of a high school baseball star who must choose between pursuing a college sports career and staying near family and friends in his struggling rural Ozark mountains community. Enoch Cass (LUKE GRIMES) wishes to hold on to loved-ones, including lifelong best friend Samuel Macon (DAN McCABE) whom he affectionately calls Wheels; because of his wheelchair. The two share an enduring spirit strengthened by Samuel's Cerebral Palsy and Enoch's debilitating stutter, both of which have kept them in need of each other for much of their lives. The film is endorsed by United Cerebral Palsy and Easter Seals. ... ... Expanded Synopsis
