The Center's newest documentary film focuses on the iconic moonshiners. Rather than the stereotypes of lazy, drunken mountaineers, moonshiners were some of the most entrepeneurial and creative farmers in a community who not only provided a public service but helped to put food on the table for themselves and their communities. The stories are both heart-rending, funny and moving and open a window into the soul of the Southern Appalachian world that's rapidly vanishing. All screenings include live music by Apple Country String Band or Bandana Rhythm as well as a talk with the director and local moonshiners. The screening at North River Farms is drive-in theater event with a food truck. This is a general admission event. Tickets vary by venue in order to maintain social distancing.

The Spirits Still Move Them DVD
DVD Will Be Available And Start Shipping At the End of June 2021.
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.
