True Grit \\ Forge Your Own Path (part 1)
About this episode
"I was born game, sis, and I hope to die in that condition."
When the government-appointed lawmen aren't quick to hunt down the murderer of Frank Ross, his teenage daughter, Mattie, takes things into her own hands and hires a one-eyed US Marshall known for his rough treatment of outlaws.
In Charles Portis's classic western novel, we find a beautiful example of how to push through even when everyone is telling you you're not up to the task. So saddle up, we're heading out to find ourselves a desperado.
Part 2 releases next week.
