The Shawshank Redemption Revealed: How One Story Keeps Hope Alive - Paperback

A 25th anniversary celebration of The Shawshank Redemption, one of the most cherished American films of the late twentieth century. Although it received mostly positive reviews on its release in September 1994, the box office was disappointing and it failed to win many awards. But as Andy tells Red in the film, "no good thing ever dies." The movie found new life, reaching an ever-growing audience on cable and home video. Each year, The Shawshank Redemption rises in polls asking film fans to name their favorite movies. It has become nothing less than this generation's The Grapes of Wrath, an inspiring story about keeping hope alive in bleak times and under the most horrendous conditions.
