I really enjoyed this documentary about a large hillbilly clan named Whites who live in deep West Virginia. Apparently, they have some notoriety for being crazy thieves, drug addicts, and …wait for it… Mountain Tap Dancers.
Not the greatest in its construction, but you can’t beat the subject matter.
Here’s the blurb on Netflix:
Hailing from Boone County, W. Va., mountain dancer Jesco White may be the most famous member of the White clan — thanks to the 1991 documentary The Dancing Outlaw — but he’s hardly the most colorful. This film focuses on the rest of the brood. Director Julien Nitzberg spent a year with five generations of the West Virginia family — and spoke to various members of their community (including the sheriff) — to provide this colorful portrait.
