A Long Hard Streak

Billy Dean Anderson was a prolific outsider artist and criminal who escaped prison multiple times. He was added to the FBI's Ten Most Wanted List and fled to live in a Tennessee cave for almost five years. The cave became his home and spiritual refuge, while his paintings were a means of communication with the outside world.

This is a story of the struggle for redemption through art, and a man's powerful legacy within an isolated community of the South.
