Where the Crawdads Sing is a 2022 American mystery thriller drama film based on the 2018 novel of the same name by Delia Owens. It was directed by Olivia Newman from a screenplay by Lucy Alibar and was produced by Reese Witherspoon and Lauren Neustadter. The story follows Kya Clark, a young girl abandoned by her family.

Where the Crawdads Sing is a coming-of-age story of a young girl raised by the marshlands of the south in the 1950s. When the town hotshot is found dead and inexplicably linked to Kya, the Marsh Girl is the prime suspect in his murder case.
