Summary

Born in Atlanta in 1900, Margaret Mitchell was a force to be reckoned with--a debutante who challenged society with a brazen dance; a reporter who roamed town when tradition called for women to stay at home. She took chances every day of her life; and though she only wrote one book, published in 1936, Gone with the Wind went on to become thw most popular novel ever written. This documentary tells the compelling story of the author's life. Through dramatic reenactments and interviews with top Mitchell scholars, Margaret Mitchell emerges as a complex and fascinating woman who had much in common with her iconic creation, Scarlett O'Hara.
