Om denne filmen

From the producers of Terence Davies' acclaimed Emily Dickinson biopic A Quiet Passion, MY LETTER TO THE WORLD is an in-depth exploration of her life and work, filmed in her hometown of Amherst, Massachusetts. Narrated by Cynthia Nixon and featuring behind-the-scenes footage from A Quiet Passion, this feature documentary journeys through the seasons of Dickinson's life in 19th century New England, with interviews and analysis from leading experts on her work. Bringing to light new theories about Dickinson's personal relationships and most revered work, MY LETTER TO THE WORLD rewrites the accepted narrative of the poet as a strange recluse in white, and breathes new life into the Dickinson legacy over 130 years after her death.
