Ociee’s true bravery, character, and spirit are put to the test in this uplifting family drama. The Adventures of Ociee Nash tells the story of nine year old Ociee Nash in the year 1898 who is sent from her father and brothers in rural Mississippi to live with her refined aunt in Asheville, North Carolina.
Starring Skyler Day, Woofer, Anthony P. Rodriguez, Bill Butler, Keith Carradine.
Parents need to know that Ociee’s mother has died. There’s a scene where an arsonist sets a house on fire, though its inhabitants survive. There’s a slight religious context as Ociee’s mother is said to be in heaven, folks attend church on Sunday, and Ociee prays to God to look over her family; these facts fit seamlessly into the context of 19th-century Southern culture. Tale of 19th-century girl power will inspire modern kids. – Common Sense Media
