The Adventures of Ociee Nash (2003). The Adventures of Ociee Nash: Directed by Kristen McGary. With Skyler Day, Woofer, Anthony P. Rodriguez, Bill Butler. In 1898, spirited nine-year-old Ociee Nash lives with her father and brother in rural Mississippi until her father sends her to live with her refined aunt in Asheville, North Carolina.

“The Adventures of Ociee Nash is a welcome respite from the the majority of childrenu0026#39;s movies these days. It is a quiet movie with an uplifting message. While it may seem geared to girls, my 10 year old son, was just as enthused about the movie as my 6 year-old daughter. My daughter has frequently said she needs to u0026quot;find her courageu0026quot;, just like Ociee. In addition to a compelling story-line, I enjoyed the costumes, and beautiful cinematography. The lead, Sklyer Day is a delight, who finds her voice as the movie progresses. I especially likes the u0026quot;neighborhoodu0026quot; boys who Ociee and her friend meet at the creek – this scene seemed an good real depiction of the age old question – Can girls do everything that boys can – sure they can! We also like the train sequence and the opportunity it provided for discussion after the movie about the time frame during which the movie takes place.”
