The characters are real; they represent life and human behavior everywhere, but here they play out their story against a backdrop of poverty, ignorance, hypocrisy, and ingrained intolerance. It's a story of hope triumph... more »ing over hopelessness and despair.

Finally, EAST FORK is an uplifting celebration of the human spirit and the true meaning of love, loyalty and friendship.« less
