Starring Pearl Fryer
Directed by Scott Galloway and Brent Pierson
A MAN NAMED PEARL chronicles the story of Pearl’s magical garden as well as his extraordinary life, both of which serve as inspiration to his family, his community, and thousands of visitors who come to discover Pearl’s world each year. The film traces Pearl’s journey from a small-town sharecropper’s son to an internationally acclaimed artist, focusing on in particular his position as the celebrated cultural and spiritual icon of his impoverished town. Now 68, the soft-spoken Pearl has just one wish for all those who wonder through his living art, they must leave feeling differently than they arrived. Stirring and profoundly uplifting, A MAN NAMED PEARL offers a captivating window into the life of a man who turned obstacles into breathtakingly beautiful possibilities.
