    • Synopsis
    • In the Appalachian Mountains, east of Kentucky, people feel less American than Appalachian. They don't always recognize the authority of the US-government. Sometimes they don't pay their taxes, even if it means dispensing with running water or electricity.
      Over time, the inhabitants of this territory of the "white rural America" have experienced the development of an explosive mix made of economic decline, ecological disaster, marginalization, and social violence.
      The rest of the US often calls them “hillbillies”. An insult they like to use to define themselves, as a provocation.
      This film is the portrait of a hillbilly family, in all its complexity, through the words of one of their own: Brian Ritchie, main character of the film, wrote and interpreted the voice-over.
      A film which combines documentary observation and the evocation of a singular and unexpected interior world – one of the last witnesses of a world on the verge of disappearing.
