Live action adaptation of the story by Rudyard Kipling. Mowgli
(Jamie Williams), a young boy living in the jungles of India, is
having fun playing chase with a group of monkeys when he is spotted
by Harrison (Bill Campbell), a talent scout for a circus who sees
potential in the young boy and his vine-swinging skills. As
Harrison closes in on his potential new client, Mowgli's jungle
pals team up to save their human friend.
This is the diary of a teenage girl, Josephine Knight, who kept
this journal from January 1885 to August 1888 while living in
Searsmont, Maine. She went to school off and on in neighboring
Camden. When not in school herself, she taught and gave music
lessons. She traveled to many nearby towns including Belfast,
Thomaston, Boothbay, Rockland, Hope, Liberty, Appleton and
Northport. Josephine was a keen observer and provides us with
extraordinary and often humorous accounts, of teaching and growing
up in Maine, of Native Americans and gypsies passing through town,
and deaths at sea. She also provides us with insights into the
mundane and often repetitive work of the times. "Mother washed. I
ironed." She also paints a complex picture of her relationship with
her father and the behavior of others. Josephine's diary will be of
special interest to those in the fields of Women's Studies and
Maine History as well as anyone who is curious about life in the
late 1800's. It gives us a remarkably clear view of life before
cars, radio, TV, and the internet.
