The Spirits Still Move Them DVD
The DVD of our new, highly acclaimed documentary film. Truth is stranger (and more interesting) than fiction. Mountaineers were masters of making something out of nothing, whether it be crops from bare soil or liquor from corn and fruit. These are the fascinating, funny and heart-rendering stories of the moonshiners who evaded the law (sometimes) and found creative ways to survive, put food on the table, and produce a product that we still enjoy today.
Please Note: If you will be in the Hendersonville area, a limited number of DVDs are available for sale at the Henderson County Genealogical Society at 400 Main Street, Hendersonville, NC 28792

The Land Still Speaks To Us – DVD or Stream it NOW
The Land Still Speaks To Us is the first in a series of documentaries on mountain heritage spoken by the voices of elders in Western North Carolina.
