Beasts of the Southern Wild

As a relentless storm is approaching a southern Louisiana bayou community called the "Bathtub" (a community cut off from the rest of the world by a levee), six-year old Hushpuppy (Quvenzhané Wallis) appears optimistic along Beasts of the Southern Wild with her unhealthy hot-tempered father, Wink (Dwight Henry). The children in school are being taught by Miss Bathsheba (Gina Montana) on how to survive and the release of ruthless prehistoric creatures called "Aurochs" from the melting ice caps. At home, Hushpuppy gets into an argument with Wink when he refuses to let her in his house (they have separate homes). Hushpuppy sets her house on fire and a chase ensues between the two, and she ends up getting slapped by Wink.   WATCH MORE
