The Wild And Wonderful Whites Of West Virginia
10/22/10
OVERVIEW: Shoot-outs, robberies, gas-huffing, drug dealing, pill popping, and tap dancing — what do these all have in common? The White Family. A documentary portrait like no other, The Wild and Wonderful Whites of West Virginia is blazing a trail to DVD on October 26 from Tribeca Film and distributed by New
Video.
From executive producers Johnny Knoxville and Jeff Tremaine (Jackass) comes a shocking, up-close look at Boone County, West Virginia’s most notorious and surly family. Director Julien Nitzberg spends a year with multiple generations of the White family in this outlandish story, which features the family’s high-stepping muse, Jesco White (star of the cult classic documentary Dancing Outlaw). The film also features Hank Williams
III.
SYNOPSIS: Shoot-outs, robberies, gas-huffing, drug dealing, pill popping, murders and tap dancing. Nestled deep in the Appalachian Mountains, the White family lives an existence more like something from the Wild West than modern-day suburbified America. The legendary family is as known for their wild, excessive criminal ways as they are for their famous mountain dancing members, including Jesco White, the star of the cult classic documentary Dancing Outlaw. The film follows the Whites over the course of one tumultuous year, as they deal with a stabbing, criminal sentencing, attempted murder, death and birth. Never dull, THE WILD AND WONDERFUL WHITES OF WEST VIRGINIA are “the Hatfields and McCoys all rolled into one” (New York
Magazine).
