@dapappacn According to your profile you are from China. I can only imagine what you learn about American history in China. If it's anything like what your government teaches you about Tibet and Taiwan, I'm sure it's propaganda. I know that the American education system is sadly lacking, but nothing compares to the stuff the Chinese government feeds its people. Only North Korea is worse.
2:40.Clint swindled the old woman out of another 5 bucks for a sixer of Pabst.And he used his weedeater on that whole small yard because I didn't see a mower.
To the comments about the clothing not being in style, well duh. These are people with not much money, their clothing mostly comes from donation places (such as goodwill) and are hand me downs. These people have a lot more to be concerned about than whether they are currently in style or not, and we could all afford to be less concerned with fashion.
Clint says no one is there to hep him. He needs to learn how to help himself. Damn it. We tax payers feed, cloth and shelter them.Always with their hand out. I some times wids I could sit on my arse and get me a free food and check, but no I would go batshit sitting around all day. Thank you lord for my life ( health ) and job I' am lucky fer sure.And I hope, the cycle will be broken someday,
@paranrm please bear in mind he's a teenager and has no idea what living on his own is like. you can see that they don't sit on their ass all day - the money they receive from the government goes towards food they grow, harvest and process themselves, and they try to support themselves with craftwork and collecting roots in addition to the government assistance. poverty like this exists everywhere in the world, in every state.

The best govt assistance these people could be provided is free sterilization for all. The fewer mouths you have to feed, the easier you can climb out of poverty, and the less burden there is on taxpayers.
theres places like this all over the states. here in oklahoma people think the indians got rich off the casino.s lol last i heard the gambino.s was still collecting the money. and i dont think they are going to donate any money to soon to a bunch of indians to live better in oklahoma. most of the money goes to new york where they live. lol do ya think i could move in with them since they make all that money down here in little ole oklahoma? i doubt it. lol
man his dad just slams him to much...wants his as to fail..needs to change his tune with that boy,give him a chance to make his own... you dont know what hard times is i walked up hill both ways for bread...man he should just go with his uncle and dont look back..but hey thats his choice..."wink"
@TheNewMusicNetwork I watched the rest of it and poor dude..the stars werent lined up for him and his plans with her to get married and stuff...well it happens like ya said :D
I can appreciate what the kid is going through--he's facing his own hard time--and all the parent want to do is burden him with a guilt trip on how hard they had it---that has to be one of the worst things parents can do-- the least they can do is acknowledge their son's coming challenges, even if they aren't as adverse as their own--but then again hind sight is 20/20 maybe he's going through worse than them in ways they can not detect for one reason or another-
I am proud of my mountain heritage but the difference between back in the day and now, is that folks were more independent. My kinfolk would NOT take charity of any kind, especially from the government. How many times I heard my grandmother say, use it up, wear it out, make it do or do without. On the other hand, all of the kids left home for jobs somewhere else, and never went back, except to visit.
Old man Bass is now deceased, Iree is very sick and bed ridden, lonzo is still on Prozac, Clint lives at home and has a daughter " no woman", the rest of the family is still the same on Welfare after eleven years since the Documentary was filmed.
Have always loved this documentary. First time I saw it I came in towards the end with all Clint's drama and thought it was some mockumentary !! Love A Boy's Life too
Hey I dont give a shit what colour the cock is ....... i just suck and slurp and suck and slurp all nite long .... im such a tramp i would suck on yours and eat your sewer arse out too ..... maggot. :D
Pardon? What is your point? If I gave the impression I disrespect these folks then your wrong ..... I greatly admire these people, theyre dam good examples of human beings living their lives in their way. And a beautiful way it is too. So settle down there junior, dont get your self all worked up about nuthin. You on the other hand are a bag of shit slop, judging by your ignorant home page.

Whatever personal items she needs? These people are so ignorant! Listen to that mouth! My parents would have slapped me into next week if I talked to them like that- no respect!
Not to say that there aren't any nice people from cities-there are, I've met them too, one is my best friend (who PREFERS living here over Cincinnati, her home town). I've loved living in the big city, but I've loved coming home and being at peace with the natural beauty of the land itself, not drowning myself in the sorrows that surround it. Yeah, the drug problem, the poverty; it can't be ignored, but don't let them eclipse the positives. There may not be as great in number, but they exist.
Yeah, Kate, there are A LOT of "transplants"- people from Appalachia move off to the bright lights & big dreams of the city for work reasons, flourish, develop a love-hate relationship with their Appalachian home, and live "normal" lives until they come back here to be buried. And don't act so posh, I've met plenty of city people who've made me wonder if they didn't call their father "Uncle Daddy".
@readinglts well i agree with ya. but you have to understand i think you do by reading your comment is thats the way they was born and raised. so the bright lights drive most of them crazy. i was raised the same way and went all over the world and states and ended up 30 miles from where i was born and raised. lol i guess we dont venture to fur out there. lol godbless.
@lizzieish Yeah. I wish I had the money to give him and his girlfriend enough for them both to go to college. It's so sad that people in this country can't get an education and live unless you have tons of money.
@lizzieish He does and he wants to better his life and not become what he sees all around him. Sadly, no one will support his dream and he will likely be "stuck like chuck".
@stacynrobin1 Thank you for the reply and strighting me out about it being in Ky instead of Tenn.
You know... after watching all 10 parts, the Grannie bout sumed it up... the door is always open for the kids, food on the table and a place to sleep. How often I have heard my mother and grandmother say the very same words.
Iree made some gorgeous quilts. I'm from East Tennessse and have 11 quilts just like that made by my mamaw and I adore them. I now live in London, England and go to University for fashion design. If it weren't for Mamaw teaching me to make quilts and clothes for my dolls when I was about 5 or 6 years old, I wouldn't have learned to sew and therefore wouldn't be here doing this. Thank God for talented women like Iree and Mamaw!!
She sold some quilts 7 years ago? Seven YEARS?... and they wonder why they are POOR? You know, you can sell them on E-Bay now. Yes, that's right. On the in....ter....net; "internet". Ahh, what's the use? They won't have an internet provider in "Hellhole Holler" anyway.

This comment has received too many negative votesshow
PEOPLE!! What is WRONG with you? You NEED to get the hell out of there! Quit wasting your lives! I'm only on part 4 and I've heard about their widespread : 1.) domestic violence 2.) alcoholism 3.) trips to jail 4.) poor educational system 5.) lack of jobs 6.) poverty and the use of foodstamps 7.) boredom 8.) depression 9.) a general lack of hope for a better future. Yeah, a real PARADISE they got there.
It always kills me to see the amount of soda, junk food & cigs. they consume...I know nutrition is probably one of the last things on their mind, but you can't possibly be expected to have energy for a job, etc. when all you consume is sodium, high fructose corn syrup & fat. I understand there is a serious addiction to Mtn. Dew in this region - the caffeine & sugar is used as a mild anti-depressant & they even put in their baby's bottles when they can't afford milk, etc. So sad...
Does anyone know what happened to Clint? i know he left the hollow once & came back,is he still there? I wish Rory Kennedy would do a follow up on all,I'm fascinated with the family.God bless them.
yes I agree poor guy she will definitely leave him...I live in Kentucky and its not like this everywhere people, dont get the wrong picture...there is a difference between " I'm not able" to work and " I wont" work there are jobs here you just have to look.
Well there aren't jobs there! They are not jobs in far Eastern Kentucky! I am not on welfare and I live in Kentucky, just not in Appalacha. But trust me you go live where they live and let me know if you find a job.
I feel so bad for clint...he really wants to get off that land and better himself, but i honestly dont think its gonna happen.How sad,if he does put his"wife" through school, i can see her leaving him in the future and moving away....poor guy
I Truly want to help these People so badly.Better yet,i WILL Help People from this region.If your a Mountain Person of Kentucky etc,msg me on here,make a vid showing your situation,n i want to help Your family.God Bless~
My Mother-in-law can Quilt like that, & My grandma in Tennessee can as well, It's so hard! I'm learning, but once you try, you really know how hard it is to do! Such a beautiful art! She could make hundreds of dollars if sje were to sell those!
I cried tears when I saw those quilts..Because they were beautiful and to think she did them by hand. I think of all the time, effort and sacrifice that went into them.

I married one of them hill billy girls like Shirley. They make good wives...they wait on you hand and foot...never refuse you pussy...and know their place as a woman.
i know people like that it is sad, but they are use to it. they are happy people and give you what they got.they will feed you and give you a bed to sleep in. wonderful folks and hard workers. god bless them. thats all they know work the fields and take care of there babys.
Beautiful quilts. I can't believe this familiy lives in the Most Powerful Country in the World :-O . Their lives are very similar at the lives of people in Mexico; poor, without jobs, schools very far from home, no opportunities to improve their life.
That is so true, those quilts would go for 1000$ easy here at a Quilting fair in my town. They are so gorgeous and there is so much detail in them. They're flawless.
maybe even more than that i dont know i do know that i sleep good under blankets like that because i know that patch quilt blankets the ones who make them put alot of time and love into them.
You guys are jerks. You will never have any concept of how hard it is for these people to live with no prospects and no way out. Grow up before God teaches you a lesson.

@stacynrobin1 Thank you for the reply and strighting me out about it being in Ky instead of Tenn.
You know... after watching all 10 parts, the Grannie bout sumed it up... the door is always open for the kids, food on the table and a place to sleep. How often I have heard my mother and grandmother say the very same words.

Iree made some gorgeous quilts. I'm from East Tennessse and have 11 quilts just like that made by my mamaw and I adore them. I now live in London, England and go to University for fashion design. If it weren't for Mamaw teaching me to make quilts and clothes for my dolls when I was about 5 or 6 years old, I wouldn't have learned to sew and therefore wouldn't be here doing this. Thank God for talented women like Iree and Mamaw!!

She sold some quilts 7 years ago? Seven YEARS?... and they wonder why they are POOR? You know, you can sell them on E-Bay now. Yes, that's right. On the in....ter....net; "internet". Ahh, what's the use? They won't have an internet provider in "Hellhole Holler" anyway.

PEOPLE!! What is WRONG with you? You NEED to get the hell out of there! Quit wasting your lives! I'm only on part 4 and I've heard about their widespread : 1.) domestic violence 2.) alcoholism 3.) trips to jail 4.) poor educational system 5.) lack of jobs 6.) poverty and the use of foodstamps 7.) boredom 8.) depression 9.) a general lack of hope for a better future. Yeah, a real PARADISE they got there.

It always kills me to see the amount of soda, junk food & cigs. they consume...I know nutrition is probably one of the last things on their mind, but you can't possibly be expected to have energy for a job, etc. when all you consume is sodium, high fructose corn syrup & fat. I understand there is a serious addiction to Mtn. Dew in this region - the caffeine & sugar is used as a mild anti-depressant & they even put in their baby's bottles when they can't afford milk, etc. So sad...

Well there aren't jobs there! They are not jobs in far Eastern Kentucky! I am not on welfare and I live in Kentucky, just not in Appalacha. But trust me you go live where they live and let me know if you find a job.

Beautiful quilts. I can't believe this familiy lives in the Most Powerful Country in the World :-O . Their lives are very similar at the lives of people in Mexico; poor, without jobs, schools very far from home, no opportunities to improve their life.
