Based on the poem by Jennifer Magee, The Archer is a symbolic look at a a young girl’s need to leave home and her mother’s refusal to accept her independence.
Tired of being controlled by her mother but feeling conflicted over leaving her sisters, a young woman decides to leave her family and forge her own path. Her mother tries to stop her, firing guilt-laden reminders of the past. The woman continues on, but will she carry these barbs with her or leave them behind?
