The Last Hillbilly
By Diane-Sara Bouzgarrou & Thomas JenkoeSynopsis
Talcum, Eastern Kentucky. A remote rural area where people feel less American than Appalachian. For decades, Brian Ritchie and his family have been living there. But the mines have been shut down, with nothing to replace them. And over time, the inhabitants have seen an explosive mix made of economic decline, ecological disaster, and social violence, develop. In the US they are often called “hillbillies”. Caught between a mythical past and an indiscernible future, Brian Ritchie is one of the last witnesses of a vanishing world, that inspires his poetry.
