She could be a wife or she could be a whore... Josephine Monaghan chose to be a man. Plot Summary: Based on a true story, this is the tale of Josephine Monaghan, a young woman of the mid-19th century who is thrown out of her parents' home after being seduced by the family's portrait photographer and giving birth to an illegitimate child. Josephine quickly learns that young, female, pretty, and alone are a bad combination for life in the wild west. In her desperation to survive, Josephine disguises herself as "Jo", a young man, and struggles to make a life for herself in a dingy frontier mining town. Can "Little Jo" live and love without revealing his/her secret? Comments: Wonderful, Breathtaking. This is an incredible movie. It is one of the most visually beautiful films I have ever seen. The landscape is so gorgeous -- snowy mountains, vast plains, rolling hills -- just incredible. The story is very interesting. It is based on the true tale of a woman who went out west in the 1800s, and dressed and passed as a man. This film explores issues of sexism, racism, belonging, individuality, and isolation. I recommend it highly. ..Movie Stills ..Movie Stills Available to buy:  The Ballad of Little Jo (DVD)  The Ballad of Little Jo (VHS)  Ballad of Little Jo [SOUNDTRACK] (Audio CD)
