Right off of my last post about Mozambique from Indigo Traveller, this video talks about the lives of those in Appalachia. Very interesting perspective in my opinion, and goes a great way to discuss the struggles faced with regard to education, industry, and life in general in WV, USA.

I had no intention of watching that video for an hour. An hour later and I was ready for Pt. 2

There is a “documentary” about poor family from West Virginia as well, it’s called The Wild and Wonderful Whites of West Virginia. Whites being a single family that have become well known in their town or area they’re in. It’s quite a wild ride and you should watch it at the very least for entertainment value.
