Jack London’s Martin Eden is based on the celebrated writer’s autobiographical novel. Set in 1909, it tells the story of a poor and unschooled sailor who unexpectedly meets Ruth Morse, a magnetic young woman of means and education. Their unconventional attraction upends both lives and propels timely themes of impossible love, dogged individualism in pursuit of the American Dream, and the quest for a comfortable place in an inconstant world.
Jack London’s Martin Eden was produced through director Craven’s Semester Cinema program, hosted for this iteration at Sarah Lawrence College. 28 professionals mentored and collaborated with 35 students to make the film.
