	Movies - The Legend of Bagger Vance

The Legend of Bagger Vance is a 1995 book by Steven Pressfield (ISBN 0380817446), transporting the story of The Bhagavad Gita to the world of Georgia in the 1920s. It is also the name of a 2000 film directed by Robert Redford based upon the book. The explicit parallels between Pressfield's novel and the Bhagavad Gita are brought out in a book called Gita on the Green: The Mystical Tradition Behind Bagger Vance (Continuum, 2000), written by Hinduism scholar Steven Rosen (Satyaraja Dasa). Pressfield himself wrote the foreword for Rosen's book.

Tagline: Some things can't be learned. They must be remembered.
