Acclaimed musician Jim White turns anthropologist-cum-tour-guide on this captivating road trip through the American South - a world of small towns, swamps, mountains, churches, coalmines, prisons and truck stops.
Interview with Jim White: "I see the world through a pair of Jesus glasses"
This spiritual journey explores the "Soul of the South" and a world of marginalised white people
and their unique and intense home-grown culture.
Interview with director Andrew Douglas: "It has a great kind of beauty and sadness to it"
Beautiful cinematography, an incredible soundtrack and contributions from novelist Harry Crews and musicians including The Handsome Family, Johnny Dowd and David Johansen combine to make this a completely original insight into an overlooked and misunderstood corner of the world.
"An amazing piece of work... beautifully dark and weird stuff." - David Byrne
