The Incredible Journey of Doctor Meg Laurel
1979, English. Directed by Guy Green.
A beautiful young doctor. Loved by the man she had to leave. Hated by the people she came to help.
A big-city female doctor returns to her roots in the backwoods of the Blue Ridge Mountains to bring modern medicine to the local folks in the Appalachia of the 1930s and finds herself at odds with the homespun ways of the resident medicine woman.
