    When Nathan (Winfield) resorts to stealing food in desperation, he is sentenced to a year in prison -- leaving his eldest son, David (Kevin Hooks), to help his mother, Rebecca (Tyson), keep the family going. With immense compassion and a rich feeling for the Southern period setting, director Martin Ritt sketches a profoundly human portrait of resilience in the face of adversity.
