From IMDB’s description of the upcoming feature Savannah:
‘Savannah’ tells the true story of Ward Allen, a romantic naturalist in the vein of Thoreau, a man of privilege who turned his back on a life of material comfort and a fiery romance with the love of his life to become a market hunter. With his life-long friend and business partner, a freed slave named Christmas Moultrie, Ward tried to navigate the vicissitudes of social, industrial, environmental and personal change that threatened their way of life.
