all i can say be that each time i see conrack and dir . martin ritt and dp . john alonzo and i feel an utmost sense of inspiration and enlightment in what the power of cinema be possible in such a simple film . the motion picture conrack be set in 1969. it be base on a true story . it be a story about a white man ( jon voight ) who teach a group of young black child how incredible the world be outside of their little south carolina island . the story place the job of a teacher a noble cause in change child live . i highly recommend it .
