Moonshiners - 2011

Think that the occasions of bootleggers, backwoods stills and"white lightning" are all over? Not a Opportunity! It's really a multi-million buck market. But it is really a tradition dating back to hundreds of years, passed down to them in their forefathers. It's a part of their culture and history. It is perhaps not legal, while this practice is surprisingly alive and well. Moonshiners tells the story of these who boil their glow - often from the forests near their homes using equipment - and also the local governments who decide to try to maintain them honest. Viewers will observe clinics rarely, if ever, seen on tv such as the holy rite of passage to get a moonshiner - firing up the still for the very first time. Additionally they will meet legends, for example notorious moonshiner Marvin"pop corn" Sutton.
