Zora Neale Hurston, path-breaking novelist, pioneering anthropologist and one of the first Black women to enter the American literary canon (Their Eyes Were Watching God), established the African American vernacular as one of the most vital, inventive voices in American literature. This definitive film biography, eighteen years in the making, portrays Zora in all her complexity: gifted, flamboyant and controversial but always fiercely original.
