Queen of Rebels : Christina Ricci - Bastards out of Carolina

In post-WWII South Carolina, a young woman named Anney gives birth to an illegitimate child, nicknamed Bone.
A few years later, Anney marries the seemingly decent Glen, who does not get along with Bone. Annie's miscarriage of a boy enrages her husband, who, behind his wife's back, begins to physically abuse Bone on a regular basis.
After Anney discovers what her husband has been doing, she leaves Glen. But her need for a man's love eventually compels her to return to Glen, setting the stage for a heinous incident between Glen and his stepdaughter. As a result, a rift forms between mother and daughter - that may never be healed.
A made-for-cable adaptation of Dorothy Allison's best-selling novel.
Anjelica Huston makes her directorial debut.
Shown out of competition at the 1996 Cannes Film Festival.
Color by DeLuxe.

Shot on location in Wilmington, N.C.

This film originally was to debut on Ted Turner's TNT network. However, it was refused due to its strong content.
