Hey, Boo: Harper Lee and 'To Kill a Mockingbird' (2010) on Netflix

Plot summary

To Kill a Mockingbird is still a bestseller half a century after it took the Pulitzer Prize, and it is still counted among the most influential American novels of the twentieth century. Its film version won three Academy Awards. The documentary examines the book's hold on readers, the Deep South in which it is set, and the changes in society that came after it appeared, and it looks into the questions that surround Harper Lee herself. Relatives and friends of the author cooperated with the filmmakers, and readers describe how the novel shaped their lives. A later edition turns to a second novel by Lee that was rediscovered, and its place beside the first.
