Maybe Mr. Douglas and I grew up in different souths, but as a native South Carolinian, with family in Kentucky and Mississippi, I really didn’t relate much to the situations presented by the movie. Yes, the film appeared to attempt to showcase Mr. Douglas’s understanding of The South, but I found that understanding to be alien and even hollow. The action seemed staged at points (Was that “random” old man/known southern author the crew picks up on the road trying to pull one over on us, or what?) I ain’t never met nobody like the people in that there film.

Also, though the music was enjoyable, I don’t understand why the majority of the artists weren’t even from the south.

Still, the movie was interesting, though more as a work of art than as a documentary. It just disappointed me a bit.
