Watch The Wild and Wonderful Whites of West Virginia For Free

Too much of everything

Absolutely brilliant

The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.

Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.

I tuned into this in the middle and was captured so I had TiVo record the entire show. It looked a true reality doc. It was sad, funny, but all too real. Having been a photographer and traveled to many states I know that there are Whites in every city. You just need to turn over the right rocks.I enjoyed the doc but it stuns me how people like that continue to hold on to their kids. If you think we have become an entitlement country just watch the doc. It angers me that my taxes go to support people like the Whites who laugh in our faces. We should have more such docs and they should be shown to senate and congress. In the meantime, taxpayers should watch the documentary and let their voices be known.

Do you want to see a documentary about a dysfunctional hillbilly family tree? This might be right up your alley. Generation after generation of low-life self righteous law breaking misfits trying to convince everyone they come in contact with that every facet of their life is someone else's fault. We are treated to the day by day existence of lazy, do-nothing, alcoholic druggies as they abuse themselves and everyone they come in contact with. Not a member of this family is in the least bit likable, and no one is spared as they seem to literally look for trouble day and night. Unlike a good movie, there is no satisfaction at watching the deserving parties get his or her just rewards, They just keep coming at you like a plague, generation after generation of the scum of the earth teaching each new brood how to get by without ever working for anything and living off of others. Just reminds us all of the human element that we could all do without and would certainly not miss. Wow, how unfortunate for the rest of us that people like this really exist. I am a Christian and always will be but this family is convincing evident for the theory of evolution.

I work in a therapeutic residential environment. I specialise in taking care of children who come from families like this. Everyday is a battle to try and undo the behaviours that they learned from the people they grew up around.Drugs and gang culture is the norm. They act impulsively as soon as there's a gut feeling. There is very little planning for the future if any at all ever. No consequence training. No boundary setting. The word "no" is a signal to begin arguing or to throw a tantrum. They tend to be self serving and inconsiderate. I deal with laziness, they're always expecting to be served by others. They put up a fuss when it's their turn to help out in even the smallest way. Also, families like this typically distrust professional institutions run by educated people.They wonder why their lives are the way they are and they can't figure it out. "It must be the Devil in us" one of them says. Change can only happen when people are willing to look at their own selves critically. Life is all about the choices that we make.These guys have a looooong way to go.

I loved this documentary on the whites. I have lately watched it more than any other movie and have memorized all the little sayings. I loved Kirk's interview and Sue Bob's ''Do y'all got fiestas?'' This movie shows you what life is really like in Appalachia.I would love to see a part 2 or an update on this family. Great work on Julien's behalf.Mamie White the biggest meanest and baddest is hilarious with her explanation of prescription pills ''green beans'' lol. Sue bob the one deemed the sexiest one in the family, that made buckos of money in her boot every nite . Mousie who is Mamie's daughter when they pick her up from prison she says ''here's my honorable discharge papers'' no parole no s**** lol. Or when Mousie explains her ex as a ''B******D and a Cheater'' lol.
