The wild and wonderful Whites of West Virginia. Cover Image DVD DVD

The wild and wonderful Whites of West Virginia.

Summary:

A shocking and outlandish year-in-the-life documentary about the White Family of Boone County, West Virginia's most notorious extended family, with shoot-outs, robberies, gas-huffing, drug dealing and using, pill popping, murders, and tap dancing. Nestled deep in the Appalachian Mountains, the White family glorifies their criminal behavior and lives an existence more similar to the Wild West than to modern-day America.
