Wildcat
Directed by Ethan Hawke
Produced by Good Country Pictures, Under the Influence Productions
A contemplative biographical drama about Flannery O'Connor's struggle with lupus and faith, exploring how suffering and artistic ambition intersect with spiritual questioning.
Can scandalous art still serve God? Does suffering precede all greatness? Can illness be a blessing? In 1950, writer Flannery O'Connor visits her mother Regina in Georgia when she is diagnosed with lupus at twenty-four years old. Struggling with the same disease that took her father’s life when she was a child and desperate to make her mark as a great writer, this crisis pitches her imagination into a feverish exploration of belief.
