What The Journey of August King Is About

In North Carolina in 1815, August King, a widowed farmer, is on his way home from the yearly journey on which he sells his produce and buys the stock he needs for the winter. On the road he comes upon a woman of about nineteen who has run away from the man who owns her. To help her is to break the law; not to help her is to leave her to those hunting her, and he is caught between the two, with a decision that puts at risk everything he has. Jason Patric and Thandiwe Newton take the leads in John Duigan’s ninety one minute American film, with Larry Drake and Sam Waterston also appearing. It was completed in 1995.
