This is a very small independent picture that did very well at two of the big festivals (Sundance & Berlin) but got little to no distribution. It's available for instant viewing on Netflix now. The story follows a Mississippi Delta family quietly
shattered by a personal tragedy as they move past the wrenching event to possible uplift. The characters seem real every second of the picture and the performances are delivered by all first time actors. Ranks with Silent Light as my favorite films for 2009. Both "Ballast" and "Silent Light" are best of the decade material.
