An eye-opening journey through the cradle of Southern culture—and much of the American way of life in general—this three-part series illustrates the political, economic, musical, and spiritual history of the Appalachian region. Each episode presents a provocative chapter in the saga of the mountain people, examining their ties to the nation’s cycles of boom and bust, war and peace, and hope and despair. Interweaving comments from historians, political leaders, and artists such as Johnny Cash, Loretta Lynn, and a host of others, the series shows viewers how the raw materials of America coalesced along its “first frontier.” Viewable/printable instructor’s guides are available online. 3-part series, 53 minutes each.
