Shoot-outs, robberies, gas-huffing , drug dealing, pill popping, murders, and tap dancing --- what do these all have in common? These are just a few of the parts of being a member of the Wild and Wonderful White Family.

Nestled deep in the Appalachian Mountains, the White family lives an existence more like something from the Wild West than modern day suburbified America. The legendary family is as known for their wild, excessive criminal ways as they are for their famous mountain dancing members, including Jesco White, the star of the cult classic documentary Dancing Outlaw.

Exploring both the comic and tragic sides of life on the other side of the law, this stylish, fast-paced family portrait exposes the powerful forces of corruption, poverty, and West Virginia’s environmentally and culturally devastating coal mining culture that helped shape the White family, a dying breed of outlaws preserving a dying form of dance.

Over the course of one tumultuous year, the Whites deal with a stabbing, criminal sentencing, attempted murder, death and birth. On top of all this, Jesco, the family’s dancing muse, comments on the family through his performances accompanied by legendary country singer Hank Williams III.

Watch as an older generation of the White family comes to terms with the lives they have lived while the younger generation struggles to decide whether they will join their outlaw forefathers or break from the family’s criminal traditions.

actually, i really hate to see this family commercialized, they will lose a lot of appeal to me, but i hope they are able to make some bank, maybe slide another doublewide up next to their existing doublewide

Dancing Outlaw was entertaining because it looked like a bootleg documentary of a family that didn't realize how fucked up and inbred they appeared to the rest of the world. I think MTV is going to ruin this. Showing the Boone County sign without a beer bottle hitting it just didn't seem right.

Exactly...


I have the Dancing Outlaw SPECIAL EDITION dvd


Whose funeral do you think that is? I didn't see Bertie Mae White (the mother "mircale woman") in that clip...but I know that Dorsey White killed himself with a gun he didnt think was loaded.

Wow...

some friends of mine had a place on Chamberlain back a few years ago. When they moved in, they found a VHS copy of this movie. Still one of my favorite things ever.

I think National Geographic made a documentary on these people. Maybe it was just something else that bmel was watching...

PBS did a documentary about Jesco White back in the early 1990s called "Dancing Outlaw". I have a DVD copy of it (SPECIAL EDITION that includes "Jesco Goes To Hollywood")

In "Jesco Goes to Hollywood", you follow Jesco as he follows his dream of stardom to Hollywood and the Roseanne Show. Its not as good as Dancing Outlaw but it still has its good parts

but


The Wild and Wonderful Whites of West Virginia blows both of them out of the water. Epic documentary. This follows around the entire White family instead of just Jesco.

I've heard that you can mail Jesco a sharpie marker and he will sniff it and then draw you a picture while high on sharpie fumes and mail the pic back to you

Sad thing is from 2005-2006 I lived an hour or so away from these folks and didn't even realize it.
Live in Prestonsburg, KY (Floyd Co) with the exwife and near the ex-inlaws.
There are some breathtakingly beautiful spots in the heart of the Appalachian Mountains but
there are also spots you don't go into after dark. And drug dealing is one of the few
ways to make a living anymore. I was lucky enough to get an ACS call center supervisor position
down the road in Pikeville. Other than that retail was the only other choice in that area
I don't regret living there at all and I met some amazing folks but damn I am glad to be back in
Central NC. When people start to whine about living here I tell them you don't know how good you have it here.
