Synopsis
Digging to China (1997) is an American drama you can watch online on iFILM. Ten-year-old Harriet, a girl with a vivid imagination, lives with her mother and older sister at a roadside motel in rural New Hampshire and dreams of a life beyond the dull little town.
Everything shifts when Ricky checks in, a grown man with a developmental disability. Harriet finds him the kindest and most interesting person she has ever met, and an unlikely friendship grows between them. Kevin Bacon plays Ricky, while a very young Evan Rachel Wood takes the role of Harriet in one of her first major parts.
This is the directing debut of actor Timothy Hutton, a quiet story of two outsiders who don't fit among the so-called normal. No big speeches, no easy sentiment, all played in half-tones. Stream Digging to China (1997) online on iFILM.
