The Wild and Wonderful Whites of West Virginia

Deep in the heart of Appalachia, the White family has lived on the fringes of society for generations. Known for their wild ways and outlandish behavior, they've built a reputation that's both celebrated and feared by their community. This documentary takes an unflinching look at the Whites' daily lives, following them through drug deals, criminal trials, and hospital visits. Despite their reckless behavior, the family's matriarch Bertie Mae remains a steadfast presence, supporting her children and grandchildren even as they continue to make poor choices. The Whites' story is a complex tapestry of poverty, drugs, and mental illness, but it's also a testament to the power of family and the resilience of those living on the margins of society.
