An ordinary life can be extraordinary. Fifteen years ago, Marcy McCall began recording two families she knew in their everyday routines of school and home. With an unrushed sensibility, GEORGIA reveals a dignity and power in daily domestic life. Showing a calm survival and a getting-on-with-it, this forthright portrayal of individuals does not bend to stereotypes, irony, or easy morals. GEORGIA is the second installment in a video trilogy documenting the everyday lives of teenagers and their families in the far corners of the state.
