Thomasin McKenzie and Ben Foster in Leave No Trace
If you lived in the Pacific Northwest in 2004, you remember it: The discovery that, for years, a father and daughter had been living in Portland’s Forest Park in an undetected campsite. They were eventually found and housed by the authorities, but soon disappeared again.
The story inspired a novel, My Abandonment, written by Reed College creative writing professor Peter Rock, and that book has been adapted into a compassionate, graceful movie by Winter’s Bone director Debra Granik.
