2018, USA, Directors and Producers: Sally Rubin and Ashley York; 85 min.
York, a liberal feminist living in L.A., returns to her hometown in eastern Kentucky, where she must confront the divide between urban and rural America in the weeks before the 2016 election. Through York’s story, the filmmakers challenge the stereotype of the uneducated, promiscuous hillbilly in the media, linking it with corporate exploitation of Appalachia’s natural resources.
