Good Morning POU!
Their Eyes Were Watching God is a 2005 American television drama film based upon Zora Neale Hurston’s 1937 novel of the same name. The film was directed by Darnell Martin, written by Suzan-Lori Parks, Misan Sagay, and Bobby Smith Jr., and produced by Oprah Winfrey’s Harpo Productions (Winfrey served as the host for the broadcast). It stars Halle Berry, Ruben Santiago-Hudson, and Michael Ealy, and aired on ABC on March 6, 2005.
This adaptation of Zora Neal Hurston’s novel, written in the 1920’s, about an African American woman who moves to the beat of her own drum in her quest to figure out her place in the world. This brings disdain from the conservative locals in her small town in Florida.
