This 2009 documentary, directed by Julien Nitzberg and executive produced by Johnny Knoxville and Jeff Tremaine, chronicles a year in the life of the White family in Boone County, West Virginia, known for their notorious outlaw behavior and mountain tap dancing tradition exemplified by Jesco White, the subject of the earlier film Dancing Outlaw. It captures the family's chaotic daily existence involving drug use, crime, poverty, and family disputes, while highlighting the broader impacts of corruption, environmental degradation from coal mining, and cultural isolation in Appalachia through first-person interviews and raw footage across five generations.
