Description

In this off-the-rails review, we dive into the 2009 documentary “The Wild and Wonderful Whites of West Virginia,” directed by Julien Nitzberg, which shadows the notorious White family of Boone County over the course of a year. From mountain dance floors to drug deals, shoot-outs to hospital beds. The film doesn’t pull punches on poverty, addiction, outlaw culture, and a dying coal-country legacy, asking what happens when survival becomes spectacle.
