Cry in the Wild

Buy This Item Cry in the Wild by New Concorde  Available from Amazon  $9.98  on 11-29-2008     I rented the movie to show to my students after we read the novel. It cut out most of the good stuff from the book, had cussing in it, and was awful. Needless to say, I didn't let the kids watch it. We just got into groups, chose our favorite scenes and worked up minidramas to act out. Don't buy this movie. Reader Reviews This movie is NOT the movie of the same title based on Gary Paulsen's book, "Hatchet". Despite the identical titles, this movie is based on a very real abduction and manhunt in 1963, in central Pennsylvania. Both were released on TV in 1990, but this movie had the subtitle "The Taking of Peggy Ann." It is a very accurate account of the kidnapping of teenager Peggy Ann Bradnick, and the ensuing search that cost the life of FBI agent Terry Anderson (played by David Soul) before the kidnapper, William Hollenbaugh, was killed by the police. The "Hatchet" "Cry" is available in DVD from Amazon. The "Peggy Ann" "Cry" is only out in VHS.
