‘Hillbilly: The Real Story’
Posted on March 4th, 2011 by steve
‘Hillbillies, long misunderstood and maligned as isolated and backward, actually have a 300-year history of achievement and success that has contributed significantly to our national identity.’
I caught this doc last year on the History channel.
Hillbilly: The Real Story (2008) – hosted by Billy Ray Cyrus – is a great overview of the ‘Appalachian American’ subculture that brought us moonshine whiskey, labor unions, NASCAR and country music.

Also, Hillbilly does a pretty good job of setting the stage for Oscar nominated Ozark kin drama Winter’s Bone (2010). Incredible performance by Jennifer Lawrence, below. Review here.
