1. The Book Of Charlie
Wisdom from Charlie Brown
A lyrical, intimate portrait of an elderly lobsterman and town fixture in a small Maine fishing village, built from years of conversations and recollections that capture his plainspoken wisdom, storytelling, work ethic and faith; the narrative uses his life as a lens on community bonds, aging, loss and the changing economic and cultural landscape of America, mourning the fading of traditional ways while celebrating the dignity of ordinary labor.
