With the Georgia farm of Andalusia as a backdrop, O'Connor's starkly, redemptive experiences—found in both her personal biography and her best-known works—come into focus. Winner of the first-ever Library of Congress Lavine/Ken Burns Prize for Film, Flannery includes conversations with Mary Karr, Tommy Lee Jones, Hilton Als, and others.
