Zora Neale Hurston (1891-1960) wrote the classic novel Their Eyes Were Watching God about a black woman's search for love in the gritty pioneer days of early Florida. Hurston was also an anthropologist who collected the stories of ex-slaves and filmed Southern black culture. This film tells Zora's life story, and includes reenactments of a 1941 interview with Hurston at a New York radio station.
