About Free of Eden
Story about Will Cleamons, a former teacher-turned-businessman who agrees to tutor 18-year-old high school dropout, Nicole Turner. Much to his surprise, their relationship not only helps Nicole build a future, but helps Cleamons put his personal life back together.
Directed by Leon Ichaso, Free of Eden leans on a strong ensemble — Sidney Poitier, Sydney Tamiia Poitier, Phylicia Rashād — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about drama titles of 1999.
