Joan Didion: The Center Will Not Hold

In this intimate documentary, Joan Didion reflects on her remarkable career and personal struggles, as told through archival footage and conversations with the author herself. Born in California, Didion began writing at age five and went on to become a literary icon, covering topics from rock and roll to politics in her essays and novels. The film explores her marriage to writer John Gregory Dunne and their adoption of daughter Quintana, as well as the devastating loss of her husband and child that Didion has written about in her book "The Year of Magical Thinking." Through a poignant and introspective look at her life, Joan Didion's nephew Griffin Dunne pays tribute to an American literary legend with a richly personal perspective.
