Based on Jack London's autobiographical novel and set in 1909, Martin Eden tells the story of a poor, rough-hewn and unschooled sailor (Martin Eden), who unexpectedly meets Ruth Morse, a magnetic young woman of means and education. Their unconventional attraction upends both lives and propels timely themes of impossible love, the confines of class, aspiration for the American Dream and the quest for a comfortable place in an inconstant world. D: Jay Craven, US, 2020

A conversation with Jay Craven follows the film.
