David Lee, the oldest son, is a bright boy who loves to hunt with his father, Nathan Lee, and their dog Sounder, but is only able to attend school sporadically in between helping his mother Rebecca on the farm. Nathan and David lose the raccoon they are hunting one evening, leaving the family without meat to eat, but the children awaken the next morning to the smell of ham cooking and happily eat it. </p><p>When they return home after a community baseball game, which Nathan helps his team win, they find the sheriff and his deputies waiting to arrest Nathan for stealing the ham from a nearby <a href="/wiki/Smokehouse" title="Smokehouse">smokehouse</a>. As they take him away, Sounder runs after their wagon and one of the deputies shoots him, though Nathan partially deflects the shot by kicking the gun. The injured Sounder runs away, and David cannot find him. He looks for him for days, but is unable to continue the search because with their father gone, he and his little brother and sister must help Rebecca farm and harvest the crops. Rebecca shares her faith with David that Sounder is alive and will return home eventually. Nathan was sentenced to one year hard labor. </p><p>The family is restricted from visiting Nathan at the local jail while he awaits shipment to the work camp. Only David is allowed to visit, and he brings a chocolate cake that Rebecca baked for Nathan, and they enjoy a piece together despite their worries over not knowing where Nathan will be taken. Mrs. Boatwright, a sympathetic local woman who employs Rebecca to do her laundry and often gives the children books to read, promises David she will find out the location of the work camp Nathan has been taken to. When the sheriff refuses to tell her, she goes through his filing cabinet to find the information. </p><p>Despite the sheriff's threats, she tells the Morgan family that Nathan has been taken to the distant Wishbone prison camp and helps Rebecca plot the route there on the map. Sounder returns home, though he does not bark like he used to, and accompanies David on a long journey on foot to find the camp and try to visit his father. </p><p>David makes it to the Wishbone camp, but is unable to find Nathan and is ignored by the guards when he inquires after him. When he tries to ask the prisoners, a guard strikes his hand with an iron rod and chases him off the camp. On his journey home, he comes across a school with all black students, where the kind, outspoken teacher, Miss Camille, bandages his injured hand and has him stay at her house and attend class at the school for several days before he starts for home again. One night, she shares books from her collection about important African-American historical figures with him and reads to him from the work of <a href="/wiki/W.E.B._DuBois" class="mw-redirect" title="W.E.B. DuBois">W.E.B. DuBois</a>. </p><p>After returning home, David longs to attend the distant school, but has largely given up on the dream when one day Sounder runs barking like he used to, to greet the returning Nathan, who was released from the work camp early after his leg was injured in a dynamite explosion. Seeing his father's depleted strength, David resolves to stay and work the farm in his place, but after learning of the school, Nathan is adamant that David go to attend it full-time. They have a heart-to-heart about how Nathan wishes for his children to escape the dead-end life of sharecropping and aspire to better things, and the next day, Rebecca and his siblings cheerfully see David off as Nathan takes him away to attend the school, accompanied by Sounder. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Cast">Cast</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Sounder_(film)&action=edit&section=2" title="Edit section: Cast"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <style data-mw-deduplicate="TemplateStyles:r1184024115">.mw-parser-output .div-col{margin-top:0.3em;column-width:30em}.mw-parser-output .div-col-small{font-size:90%}.mw-parser-output .div-col-rules{column-rule:1px solid #aaa}.mw-parser-output .div-col dl,.mw-parser-output .div-col ol,.mw-parser-output .div-col ul{margin-top:0}.mw-parser-output .div-col li,.mw-parser-output .div-col dd{page-break-inside:avoid;break-inside:avoid-column}</style><div class="div-col"> <ul><li><a href="/wiki/Cicely_Tyson" title="Cicely Tyson">Cicely Tyson</a> as Rebecca Morgan</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Paul_Winfield" title="Paul Winfield">Paul Winfield</a> as Nathan Lee Morgan</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Kevin_Hooks" title="Kevin Hooks">Kevin Hooks</a> as David Lee Morgan</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Carmen_Matthews" class="mw-redirect" title="Carmen Matthews">Carmen Matthews</a> as Mrs. Rita Boatwright</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Taj_Mahal_(musician)" title="Taj Mahal (musician)">Taj Mahal</a> as Ike Phillips</li> <li><a href="/wiki/James_Best" title="James Best">James Best</a> as Sheriff Charlie Young</li> <li>Eric Hooks as Earl Morgan</li> <li>Yvonne Jarrell as Josie Mae Morgan</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Janet_MacLachlan" title="Janet MacLachlan">Janet MacLachlan</a> as Camille Johnson</li> <li>Sylvia "Kuumba" Williams as Harriet</li> <li>Ted Airhart as Mr. Perkins</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Richard_Durham" title="Richard Durham">Richard Durham</a> as Perkins' Foreman</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Jerry_Leggio" title="Jerry Leggio">Jerry Leggio</a> as Prison Guard</li> <li>Spencer Bradford as Clarence</li> <li>Judge William Thomas Bennett as Judge</li> <li>Reverend Thomas N.
