Join tour guide, alternative country singer/songwriter Jim White on this spooky, kooky ride through the swamps, bayous, bars, prisons, back roads, and churches of the rural south. Part documentary, part spiritual quest, part spoken word artistry, this film was originally made for the BBC but has recently been shown on the Sundance channel. Appearances are made by celebrated writer Harry Crews, The Handsome Family, and the wonderfully creepy Johnny Dowd. This film will make you laugh, break your heart, and entertain you at the same time. Among the missing teeth, numerous tattoos, and free flowing beer, you'll find real people who've been touched by good and evil Perhaps Jim White sums it up best when he says that he's "looking for the gold tooth in God's crooked smile".

You sold me on the film les. Now I only hope I can find it to purchase!
Love your blog, makes shopping easier for me for good movies, books etc. No tv tho. Bah hum bug on Tv. Had no idea who or what an American Idol is until I read your blog on it. As you can see I'm condensing this to one comment on all blogs, Dr Hook. Oh man, that was worse than a stinker. Brain cells fell over dead as I watched it. Should have read your blog first. hee hee. No time to read, but I'm making a list!
Thanks again for the humor in your writing style. You've got a fan here!
