This is definitely the worst documentary I've ever seen. The Director/Narrator seems to have started with the assumption that every southerner is a murderous psychopath out to get him. The film starts with an interesting premise ofThis is definitely the worst documentary I've ever seen. The Director/Narrator seems to have started with the assumption that every southerner is a murderous psychopath out to get him. The film starts with an interesting premise of investigating a family legend about a racist murder committed by the Director's great-grandfather, but quickly derails. The death the film's supposed to be investigating is barely touched on, and the movie is padded with bizarre segments of strange visuals accompanied by "experimental" music written by the Director. Perhaps the most telling is this anecdote he relates:
While filming around the town where the killing occurred, he is approached by some children. When he tells them that he's filming a documentary about the area, they go to find their father whom they say has lived there a long time an knows all the local history. The narrator waits for them to leave and then drives away quickly, saying he feared for his safety. He tells this whole story in hushed tones as if he barely escaped with his life.
