I liked it, and the film has gotten some good reviews, like on www.crimeblog.us

"The filmmakers' approach was pitch-perfect in how they incorporated those local voices in their work. They went into peoples' living rooms, into their kitchens. They taped their subjects in natural light and let them ramble. I watched these scenes in particular and I could almost smell the percolated coffee in the kitchen, hear the soft ticking of a ceiling fan. I could hear voices and accents familiar to me. I was taken back to my own relatives' kitchens and living rooms, to sitting on the long front porch at my grandparents' farmhouse in Spring Hill, Tennessee as a summer storm was moving in, listening to my grandpa and my dad talk of similar events, tell dark stories from my own community's past."

Check out the film for yourselves!
