Capra casts the fictional Frank Capra in the lead roll of this novel of environmental and humanitarian preservation.  As tourism comes back to the decimated boom towns of the eastern Sierras, Frank Capra finds himself, along with a do-good cop named Lefty, at the center of a scandal. That scandal being that they provided food and protection to two men living off the grid in the wilderness, while the powers that be have been desperately trying to clear the men out of the area, being not the kind of folk they want in their towns.  In a story that only Frank Capra can tell, the David and Goliath of small-town tourism politics comes to a head in the wilderness of the Sierra Nevadas. Cry Wilderness is a deeply humane novel about the ways in which people caring for one another ultimately triumphs over oppression.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":49936807657745,"sku":"CIN1947856308G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51053345276177,"sku":"NIN9781947856301","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1947856308.jpg?v=1773916328"},{"product_id":"mr-capra-goes-to-war-frank-capras-world-war-ii-dvd-0887090141819","title":"Mr. Capra Goes To War: Frank Capras World War II","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":53424203301137,"sku":"CINB07HQ1CPPKG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0887090141819.jpg?v=1776386654"},{"product_id":"name-above-the-title-book-frank-capra-9780394712055","title":"The Name above the Title","description":"Although Frank Capra (1897-1991) is best known as the director of\u003ci\u003e It Happened One Night, Mr. Deeds Goes to Town, You Can't Take It with You, Mr. Smith Goes to Washington, Arsenic and Old Lace, \u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eIt's a Wonderful Life\u003c\/i\u003e, he was also an award-winning documentary filmmaker as well as a behind-the-scene force in the Director's Guild, the Motion Picture Academy, and the Producer's Guild.
