Sundance Grand Jury Winner Deals with Meth in Rural America

This is a bit belated at this point, but somehow I didn’t read until now that Winter’s Bone, the Grand Jury Prize winner at Sundance, deals with the effects of meth on a rural community in the Ozarks. Since my parents live in the Ozarks (albeit the Arkansas, rather than the Missouri side) and have seen many children and teens suffering as a result of their parents’ meth addiction, this is one I’ll have to see once it’s released. Hopefully it rises above the trailer-park-trash-porn approach of so many movies depicting the South.
