Winters bone "Winters Bone" is an independent film made in 2010 and directed by Debra Granik It is a set in an area of the Ozark's has a different society to the rest of the world where women do hard labour and the men are in power.

The sound in the film is primarily non diegetic sound with the voice over and the diegetic sound is the nature, birds and trees.
