This review from Uncut magazine gives a good idea of the film. Southern Journey (revisted) - Uncut review This is from the review. "The picture that emerges will ring true to anybody who has visited these places – the locals are far smarter than often given credit for, unaffectedly proud of their traditions, and more or less bottomlessly hospitable." I also liked the "hipster doofuses” comment from one of the contributors. |
