It's a good documentary. It's well made. If you watch carefully, things are juxtaposed to make subtle points.
Here's the thing.....it should and it probably will make you mad. But, it's supposed to. Having said that I just need to rant a second. Hank Williams III singing about how the Whites "don't need nothing from nobody" while we're watching them talk about being on gov't assistance LIFE LONG and watching one of the girls go to rehab and you know perfectly well the state is paying for that....makes me want to punch something.
Do I have a problem with welfare or rehab? Actually, no. What I have a problem with is people glorifying this crap as "independence" when these people are 100% dependent on both the government and their addictions. They are the epitome of dependent!!
Then we have the semi-famous White saying, at the cemetary, that he doesn't understand why so many things go wrong in his family. Is it the sin? Is it demons? And I'm screaming, literally, at the TV "IT'S A DIRECT RESULT OF YOUR OWN *&^%$ ACTIONS".
Put all this up in front of the confederate flag and watch them raise the next generation to repeat the same stuff over and over all while Hank glorifies them in song and I'm ready to PUKE.
