Synopsis
"Jadine" is a chilling portrait of a young orphan making her way in a hostile
world. Beginning in rural New Hampshire and leading to the back door of privileged Boston, Veazey explores with emotional precision, the complex,
seductive contradictions of Jadine's life that is indelibly shaped by doings not
her own. She is capable of violence without remorse, even as she gently cares
for the elderly and yearns for her lost love, Billy-John, a Native American
orphan. Resisting tidy resolutions, Veazey enlists our sympathy, shock,
disapproval, and finally, compassion, in this insightful, stark tale.
