Jon Voight's rich performance is just one highlight of this warm, engaging adaptation of Pat Conroy's memoir. In 1969, Conroy traveled to a small island off the coast of South Carolina to work as a teacher to the island's poor, predominantly black children. He meets with plenty of resistance at first, but "Conrack," as the children call him, soon opens their eyes to the wonders of an outside world they never even knew existed.
