are covered katrina you has more now from beijing. for 3 minutes across the country people paused as sirens wailed and the sound of sirens of course resembles the sound of crying it was a very poignant and somber moment here in china people who have cars and boats were encouraged to join in and flags were flown at half mast and people wherever they were they stood still with their heads bowed to remember those who lost their lives to cover 19 more than 3000 here in china this is the 1st time a national day of mourning has taken place because of a public health disaster this is only happened previously because of natural disasters such as earthquakes and today on saturday is also here which is too sweeping festival here in china so traditionally a festival to remember ancestors and commemorate the dead and not only the patients of the 1000 but also the health workers who lost their lives in particular 14

doctors and nurses were remembered today as national masses including dr lee when young who was one of the 1st doctors to sound the alarm at the beginning of the outbreak as of the severity of covered 19 so he was also remembered today but of course the day would normally families would gather in cemeteries and burn offerings to remember relatives who have passed away the government has said because of the outbreak because the threat of covered 1000 is not yet over they've encouraged people to stay home instead to do their remembrances. humanity's darkest hour that's the international monetary fund has described the coronavirus pandemic it says has brought the global economy to a standstill the head of the agency said the outbreak has pushed the world into recession crystal jervy is said a war chest is available to help nations recover she called on advanced economies to help developing countries this is

a crisis like no other. never in the history of the i.m.f. we have weaknesses the world economy coming to a stand still we are now in recession it is way worse then the global financial crisis we can have one trillion dollars war chest and we are determined to use as much as vesa serry in debt protecting the economy from the scurrying of this crisis a global bidding war has begun countries and cities compete for supplies of personal protective equipment including masks gloves and downs for health care workers people in turkey must now wear masks and public that's one of several new measures that the president unveiled on friday to contain the virus people under

the age of 20 would also be subject to a partial curfew and cars are banned from entering and leaving 31 cities or at least 15 days in other news donald trump has fired the u.s. intelligence community's inspector general michael atkinson had informed congress in september about who was the worst complaint that led to trump's impeachment. is the latest pietschmann procedure to be removed. the american singer songwriter been with us has died you know. when you see the. 3 time grammy award when i wrote major hits including a lovely day as well as made on me and ain't no sunshine the 81 year old stopped making music in the mid 1980 s. he died from the hot complications los angeles he survived by his wife and 2 children those are the headlines the news continues here on al-jazeera after witness statement that's what it.

already and we are really day europe are real. and we do the raise money for our front office i want to leave. now no wonder stones and.

this is where we're. seeing we're taking pride in the way we look at the family is a really nice thing about people and people think they're great workers and you can't. get one. is the hillbilly still living enough till you bought into this is what we're calling our ability or the lack of better flags i grew up with you left feeling ok. for me but don't live when i'm not. the bag whack whack my interview. by the both one that was going on. the ember of you know brian doing. good to you was the fall you gotta get to know me a lot better always or rivers the bowings that we fear is america talking cannot

tell the song you did this and that just to his house. ouch. i grew up in appalachia watching my grandfather shows like he hot. in the beverly hillbillies. i hated the shows growing up going up that's going to. do you care if you don't. mind champ there's a long history of stereotyping has plagued the appalachian region. the dump truck voters really are the dumb troll vote she is they certainly all sally as tacky and as stupid and as mind blowing li ignorant as he does. in the run up to the 2016 presidential election i was making a film about the trails of appalachian people and culture i news coverage about the

region exploded and suddenly everyone was talking about the great divide. bloomberg has read urban vs borough in one region my hometown region was singled out as the reason for trump's rise. my hometown came for kentucky right in the heart of the appalachian coalfields so when most people hear my accent they assume i'm from the south. appalachian is a region because. that is complicated and all its own the term hillbilly was born here and more recently the idea of the heart of trump country. oh. my. god. this is me.

during the election this was my facebook page. this is my granny shelby. around the time of the election this was her facebook page. donald trump grabbing. me i just can't believe my grandmother posted this on my wall. i may be the only person from kanpur kentucky in los angeles almost everyone i know here despise a strong but back home the perspective is quite different. the 2016 election made painfully clear the disdain that urban liberals have towards so much of america particularly appalachia. i relate to both worlds. as a progressive feminist and filmmaker i was curious to visit my hometown during this divisive political moment.

we are on our way to meet house hauler which is where i grew up and where i lived until i was 18 years old when i was accepted to the. kentucky and up backed up a u.-haul. and moved out. this is me when i was 9 i won the spelling bee that year. i was a member of the speech and drama team i was on the homecoming court. i graduated at the head of my class. there's a photograph from the day i moved out. i had no idea when i was standing in that driveway what i was about to experience. moving from rural kentucky to urban

kentucky was the greatest culture shock of my life. people identified me as someone from the mountains their reactions to the way i talked or insulting and made me feel silenced. i moved to los angeles years later and to this day people still ask where do you get that accent where you from. oh my goodness gracious. the swiss made hell smaller and my childhood home run before us. we moved out of that house and not the 98. is that rebel flag right there in the middle. and this was my bed or what here my dad did all this brick work for the record this flagpole was not here when we lived here and there certainly was no

. confederate flag flying high on our property. my mom was a nurse and my dad worked in the coal mines until he got laid off he became a brick mason. he once said to me that people would look at him and my mom as embodying the american dream they went from living in a single wide trailer to building their dream home. i felt fortunate as a child. for most people in my hometown at that time there are basically 2 job opportunities. and walmart. i work at wal-mart. it gets hard here in the get for us. and don't know when or when you know when. you know me in the best way you came. in just. to make.

floyd county kentucky you'll find some of the poorest places in america one road out one that's right next door to where i grew up. only way out when i was 9 years old a saw this 48 hours news program which made sweeping generalizations about people from my region. like we were all to be pitied so this is. the probable that show made me feel shame for being from eastern kentucky during the war on poverty in the 60s the federal government spent more than $3000000000.00 to build highways connecting the appalachian fields to the rest of america but a university of kentucky study found that many residents can't even afford the gas it would take to get away everything from hold on the things many people have that t.v. news program had a lasting impact on me it was the 1st time i saw my community for trade as poor white trash a legacy that goes way back. on this great sure they. no

. more war. on america i. was looking. for a trip to the roots of appalachian mountain county kentucky. the war on poverty is complicated while it helped some people. welfare programs like food stamps and medicaid it led to an influx of volunteers and journalists from around the world their efforts were confusing and troubling to some folks like my dad and his 2 sisters who were children at the time living in eastern kentucky one day somebody came up and gave every student there a parachute just have to jail was full of shit that's what the government i guess thought we needed it was interesting to have people coming in to look at this area

but it became very evident. it was critical and we're dead set on the force and we went there for what we did so when i say the frail and the depiction of the poor appalachian mountain people it really irritates me because. as that. shelby lives. a. fairly here. and good i'm just putting this my thing on me and i'm going to give you my. good. group. granny this let's clip that on your belt so that is i don't ever actually hi hello i'm going to agree to get right to.

make sure. our friends see perfect because i was roosters are eating roosters here birds out there this 11800 you actually got me on you to l.a. for sam i want you find me it was like a small stage or some talking i'm not kidding but i should trump it he's been wearing trump shirt trump cap which will have. a cell. to the ground. you're going to look back at this election and say this is by far the most important vote that you've ever cherish for anyone at any time because it was unfathomable to me the trump could beat hillary i just could not understand why my family who voted for barack obama supported him what is it about donald trump that makes you want him to be the

45th president that states well the man knows how to make money you know he's got over $10000000.00 he has know how to make money so i believe he could actually bring the jobs back and create jobs i'm not saying probably the say some stuff that should have been said the locker room talk about abiogenesis which i've not made anybody who hasn't done something similar to that and they just blow it out of proportion that you all expect to be this enthusiastic about the election because it's been very intriguing to. see some of these posts that have been going around i was a democrat all mama. and the primary i'll wait and change to republican just so i could vote for trump going to caucus here people from the mountains to block that

or i'm from really had no one to have our back before isn't just the same old thing empty promises yeah. you know there's just too much stuff on hillary just all the investigations and stuff like that so what we had to loose vote trump would you vote for i voted for hillary clinton oh. i did you all i could water was getting sour looks if it was you know i did full disclosure i did a vote by mail application and i did the ballot muster not the birchwood you girls just read a shit heel chips pay the young you put in they to burp. you did lol lot smarter but i'm. pretty sure that you will

still a lot of good in there oh man if it did lead to me becoming a radical progressive we still love you no matter what oh yeah we've. clearly. forgot about that. this is interesting this is a story that the city paper didn't like same 10 i think the question was where do you see yourself in 10 years i would have been 18 here and i said cross angela and that's what happened in my family has lived in eastern kentucky for 6 generations he was the coal miner my grandparents on both sides worked in the coal industry. you were probably 6 right now. my whole life i was told to get out i never questioned why. i want to serve our country of the people just wrote them they

talked over me like i wouldn't dare they think just because i grew up in the city and they talk with more pronounce words especially when i know fans but when i served in california that was the worst i was looking for the. the brotherhood of the pre-owned. need think that was all somehow related to their stereotypes of mountain people or to yes. they still think northerners always did they'd always think that they're above it bailey hillary said we were all deplorable according to her we're all messy we're a bunch of backwoods people that are under her feet. you could put

half of trump supporters into what i call the basket of deplorable zz. right. people in california and all these other states look at the hillbillies. they have a certain perception of us because whatever they see on t.v. well bobby i am 5 is when i was that youngster at 18 years old going from the holler to the big city in lexington kentucky that sourav felt you know i was a journalism student and you know journalists are supposed to speak with a midwestern accent which is meant to be no accent so that you can pick up and move and basically just like sterilizes any kind of culture or regional uniqueness that might be and i was told you got to speak correctly which meant i was speaking incorrectly and of course i believed it like one of the teachers the professionals you know i was working for the n.p.r. affiliate i worked at the city newspaper i was the editor of the student paper i

was the editor of the t.v. station under the change who you were. what you were. right. i would have never hurt him any more than i had heard it. might sound like ours you got this kind of like florida panhandle thing going where is what you really want is more of a self i am actually i don't die no no no no no no no no. arkansas is kind of there it pulls back after the concert so arkansas alabama yeah. i guess i'm rambling on saying time and again from these media portrayals is that it produces shy name and so fighter it i mean i work with a lot of young people who don't people know where they're from but i want to change the way they speak i want to escape the region as soon as possible because they're ashamed of it. as somebody who grew up in the region i have always fill several

layers of being the other always described as feel like a perpetual immigrant because we've been here so long i mean my family has been in appalachia for a generations yet. to some extent we're still treated like immigrants were treated but for from another country when we go out into the rest of the united states it's such a strange phenomenon the poles speak slowly to us and expect that we're not going to you know get common references a woman once asked me if johnny carson was you know because i was from appalachians she didn't like we had tb nobody was illiterate. appalachia was a construction it was a social and cultural invention for example iowa is a construction too the difference between iowa and appalachia is you know when you're in iowa because there's a sign there that says welcome to iowa there's no such sign with the appalachian.

everywhere in the world. there are happy latches and therefore everywhere you thought there are hillbillies if we think of the hillbilly as sort of an outcast group this your 1st trip clean your. i collected an article in which the official chinese news agency criticized a group of chinese people living far away from peking as the equivalent of hillbillies everybody has an appalachia everybody has somebody that they can feel superior to. we all do. that why the hell billy is the image of a guy with a corncob remote ignorant barefoot lazy and so has really been a way to mating the dispossession of the mountains it's a region of people who are to prevost not part of the american dream they don't

really deserve the kind of resources and wealth that will live beneath the land of appalachian particularly coal it's only a region of trash so. why not trash it. in the flooded by ways of the appalachians about 20 people are dead 20 abalos and have been moved out in helicopters and row boats to blame for the flash flooding is being placed on extreme erosion cycle operations strip mining and large tree clearing that allow the water to cascade in the rivers with great speed there were immediate problems of temporary housing from the federal government but no trailers have arrived yet nobody gave anything we were put down we do need help and this is what we do need help them. why do we need to go back if we came to. the coal industry created the towns we grew up in it was the centerpiece of life and the livelihood and identity of so many folks in my hometown while it sustained

our families it ravaged the land without coal. you have very little if anything you know eric i like this area should be very happy that corporations such as our u.s. steel and others are here. for decades coal companies came to where we grew up and took out a truckload after truckload of coal mining calls floods and destroyed homes and left our creeks orange in my foolish. way brandy good a good thing to say i mean don't claim i may ask but you have it in mind to fight it better. than lose maybe i'm not black. but my granny i remember these massive floods you know the flood of 77 floods that took homes lugs that you know people had to raise their houses and they suffered deeply from that and didn't get support from the government like my granny remember her whole life was fighting for

support and stuff this is the flood plain here. what we wrong is for fema coming in and help but i mean people that this is it's a shame. it's more than a shame. they don't care about people like us that live out here in these areas. that have a. lot of the real. only support we it was. owned by a well i would call the news. in the flood. and get them to come over and take a chance the government is supposed to be for bad people but that isn't the way these appalled when they get novelists they know who to take care of because they did once take care of them i certainly didn't agree with my granny's politics but i knew she had

a long list of resentments against the government which helped me understand her point of view. you know the binder is to a certain. there are so down there they've been treated so badly that they haven't been voting they haven't been going out and voting like they can and that includes members of their family that have left the mining business let members of the family they've left home i think at that time if somebody would have asked her would you ever for someone a comment. freely would grab when i think she will have a very different answer at that time in her life. from the out here in london brutal path and. income but faith in the state the american state that didn't. unprompted uninterrupted all of these these divisions of the working class of working people and they keep us from realizing our collective power. homemade then if you obey them all through the 30 years you begin

to work and believe it has power over you a lot judy a great date that they are. a story of popular resistance political intrigue. and betrayal. a son's quest for justice sometimes i feel like i'm pulling a mirror and looking for the illusion. al-jazeera world goes in search of the truth about the 2 new zealand independence photo. on al-jazeera. there's a wave of sentiment around the world people actually want accountability from the people who are running their countries and i think often people's voices are not heard because they're just not part of the mainstream news narrative. obviously we cover big stories and we report on the big events are going on but we also tell the stories of people who generally don't have a voice and then when i was a child my debts will never be afraid to put your hand up and ask

a question and i think that's what i observe really does he ask the questions to people who should be accountable and also we get people to give their view of what's going on. hello i'm daryn jordan in doha with a quick reminder of the top stories on al-jazeera millions across china have stood in silence to more than 3000 people have died from coronavirus much of the country came to a stop. from beijing to none in the hundreds of other towns and cities sounded to mark so-called martyrs day china claims to have curb the spread of the virus but some restrictions have again been tightened to prevent a 2nd wave of infections about 82000 of been confirmed infected in china but most

have recovered katrina you has more now from the capital beijing. this is the 1st time a national day of mourning has taken place because of a public health disaster this is only happened previously because of natural disasters such as quakes and today on saturday is also which is termed sweeping festival here in china so traditionally a festival to remember ancestors and commemorate the dead and not only the patients of covert 19 but also the health workers who lost their lives in particular 14 doctors and nurses were remembered today as national moss' it's humanities darkest hour that's the international monetary fund has described the coronavirus pandemic that it says has brought the global economy to a standstill the head of the agency said the outbreak has pushed the world into recession christina georgieva said a war chest is available to help nations recover and she called on advanced economies to help developing countries

a global bidding war has begun as countries and cities compete for supplies of personal protective equipment including mosques labs and downs for health care workers. people in turkey must now where mawson public that's one of several of the measures the president unveiled on friday to help contain the virus anyone under the age of 20 listen to a partial curfew and cause a ban from entering a meeting 31 cities for at least 15 days in other news president trump has fired the u.s. intelligence community's inspector general michael of kinston had inform congress in september about it was the 1st complaint that led to trump's impeachment concerns the latest person involved in pietschmann procedure to be removed those were the headlines the news continues on to 0 off the witness statement that's what i thought. you.

very very pleased be then listen to the story. then i really believe this is harlan county u.s.a. i saw this movie when i was 19 everybody go out on the picket line and will waive your right to stand it. it was the 1st time i remember seeing the people of eastern kentucky represented with dignity on film. this film inspired me to make documentaries. that was like an ah ha moment i mean i grew up in a rural place and public education and it wasn't you know a space of radical far ideas and i think that that very much set the tone for me and for the direction of my life and i was interested in telling stories of marginalized and vulnerable people because i grew up in a place where a lot of people are marginalized people are vulnerable i mean it's really incredible the way that media works and how these stories can get told in

the immediate aftermath of the civil war the local color writing presented up as sort of quirky in quaint people's. but as industrial has become interested in the region for minerals for lumber for coal. the people that were living there could also be seen as a kind of potential threat or at least interference with their economic plans and so a new conception emerges of them as a dangerous and threatening people who might threaten civilization itself are not just talking about hillbillies i.e. people who live in the mountains we're talking about poor people who live in the mountains they're the ones who are going to cut your throat. regional and national newspapers promote them out people as dangerous and threatening if they stand in the way of progress.

they're aware now now now now now mero you can still hear that that piece of music and so you lock the car doors just in case the car were to break down. the old. and the liver and there is this horrifying right it is here. now if you hear that black on the band. it brings up this image of rape. and deliverance there is an acknowledgment at the beginning of the film with the images the mountain being blown up and knowledge man of the city is exploitation of the world we're going to reach this whole god damn landscape of breaking our louis my extreme pain of the famous. are you nervous belittle they are going or oh

yeah don't just bum i'm not i what i want and that way. this is me. trying. we had to direct and look for extra intel now i came in our class got to look and fill it out i was saying the same person that i was when they put that make up the head market and it kind of got me. i think one of the things that makes deliverance work on lots of levels is that. billy's character and my character were able to sort of connect. having that scene work really put this film on a different level. which was the break of my life and i guess that's probably want to great moments ever put on screen it is there anyone out there who hasn't seen the motion picture deliverance scene at a large number of times but there is

a moment there when he plays the banjo with a retarded boy and they suddenly discover each other and ronnie plays the guitar and they do dueling banjos and i guess probably one of the most electric moments on the screen i get goose pimples just thinking about it it wasn't nominated for academy awards the 45th annual academy awards presentation and it's nearly always listed in the top 15 or 30 of the best films of all time looking ahead. how much money did you make for your role in deliverance and might not have been. nude and i wished i would could be an actor. i just love to go to.

the lender and. i'm hoping that i'll get everyone to turn but i don't think it's going to happen. billy was only in the 4th grade when the directors came to his school. he had no idea how the movie would be used or that he would become a symbol for the entire region. deliverance from delhi was. but his hope and his hinderance. when i 1st seen the movie i didn't know that part were going to be in there. you know i thought to must fail the people that's going to say that movies go if i. manage this phrase a robin county. sports

bar that has a white trash theme it's called the rest of. caution to me is taking someone else's culture and exploiting you know and using it for your own profit. there's a lot of ironic redneck chic and i think it only bothers me in the same way that white people pretending they're black sort of adopting a pop culture that's not your experience leave it alone but. it was the same day let's call the white trash party only got sloppy joes maybe the best get say we know this really am pretty bad to you. go see. where do you get your ideas about what what trash looks like wow i see

a lot of imagery on the internet i see where they called memes are means internet means if somebody will put up a picture of like torn jeans here with a local white trash or minister are turned into you know drinking glass you know they trash and so a lot of deliverance when i was a kid. if they knew hipster like my brother we know like white trash the point here yeah absolutely. a lot of the stars that are maybe dressing like this don't even. you know where appalachia is or understand any of the issues about it oh you poor west virginians still have to like mine coal to get your electricity when like 14 percent of the power of new york city comes from west virginia coal these hipsters these millennial zz are going to be the people running our country and do they know like that say for instance west virginia has the highest rate of overdose deaths in the

nation from opioid use but they're wearing our clothes and trying to look hard look in can vegetables and drink moonshine. the co-option of politicians there's a long history there mcconnell in the senate won his 1st election running a t.v. ad in which he used hound dogs he played the hillbilly. switch to mitch for george w. bush is seen as a redneck that you actually are. nicest child perp which. totally different. ones on the show ones where the country. is a cultural politics to the success of more right wing groups in this country and it hinges in part on the depiction of white working class people so from the right you

get this depiction as the salt of the earth you know the people that we lift up and from the left you get these stereotypes a vicious voted against their own economic interest because of gods because it gays and because of the 3 g.'s their own behavior is precisely what people on the right point to in listing. white working class folks for very rightwing cause and i mean they have contempt for the poor the country for the middle class for rural america. they're now admitting that it's really important that people who consider themselves progressive understand what harm they're doing i'm the only candidate which has a policy about how to bring economic opportunity using clean renewable energy as the key into coal country because we're going to put a lot of coal miners and coal companies out of business was.

we're making a movie every hour media reports and stations going to watch american people so what do you think is important 2060 home runs for one is of my own saying the jobs the reviewer the colemans is gone it's got really by a lot of you know think about the election. you know where it goes there's no we know coal mining is going to lose a lot of kentucky people jobs. lot of people. not be able to. support their family. what about. you. know well i want out front because he is very rude to women in this i would say well i can't help but i did think your right and rice is what do you think about his promise to make america great. do you still believe or on him believe these are your beliefs.

i thank goodness. i don't want to put in the work but don't don't mess with the color temp now after you do it we can go and make adjustments but i don't actually think it's up lou it's really beautiful. you know it's so rare that you see. through the eyes of an option person and like new york city. you know in the new york times or something. there are storytellers here who are able to critically examine their communities and to tell powerful and honest stories and that you don't necessarily always have to find somebody and to tell that story. in memory of

the black i watch that show that they're fairly hands down the fact that there's a small black community here then that in this place that i didn't even know about for all my years of living as. i am i was pretty much completely changed. it's really got me in touch with my community and just. how people don't have to be alone in the world that they live i do they grow in college her parents really races obviously she's white. her parents had a very negative view of black people are lazy and dangerous all kinds of stuff and we are today in secret and. we dated almost for 2 years and our parents pulled out of school once they found out that we were dating and i was either since 12 was a really it was a heartbreaking thing for me it's tiring to have to hog who you are as a person everyone should be able to say who they are as

a person. i was always very big tomboy going to school developed a crush on a girl like i would lay in my bed and just cry. every night because my entire family when they found out they would hate me like just disown me sometimes people come in and they haven't really had to hear what it's like and you used to be discriminated against or for a person color in the group to be discriminated against so i think it's creating a bridge of understanding between young people and their own community. there's a guardian article that came out about my hometown they were doing a series about poverty in america they said something like the average yearly income for a household in lee county kentucky is something like $13000.00 or $14000.00

a year unless you are over the age of $65.00 and then that drops down to like $6000.00 something dollars a year. not only is this a place where people are so overwhelmingly poor but also it's a place in america where people are overwhelmingly quat and the vast majority of them always vote republican i'm not. conservative. but i think it's wrong to say oh you guys are stupid you're just doing it to yourself you're vote republican so you're a student to yourself that's not the case. just things like. you know if they're not blaming you for being republican and thereby me for being you know. if they're not done for that. not by me for that then you're lazy after this article came out there all these people who have the community are saying things like wow this article is really sad i feel so sorry for the people who live

here ok like this person so you know the brah people get up and move to places with opportunities which is what brought people always do it's the brain drain they're telling the people to do the same stuff that teachers said to me when i was going to hospital and you've got to get out you can't stay you don't need to be here you've got to get out there's nothing here. that people hate it like turn around the right now so yeah i don't know i don't know what to tell you you. have like a big circle yeah like say if we're going to do a montage of you know. what is here to show her. voting is far to go in the race for president voters head to the polls just choose between the 1st woman president and the businessman running for his 1st elected office point that he has truly been on like any political race we've ever covered

before trump was eager to tout surveys that show him gaining ground a lot of good polls out there today what's still unknown is the outcome on election day. turn on a winner. what's up america let's take a president all on the job they are a blockhead but again our time to tell you. from. your reading that he along. new hillary i'll. read this one honestly. this is the most important election i've ever. participated in. using for i really don't care who have voted for. this family. lots of pictures of people with the i voted stickers on. people seem to be voting against hate. here but we'll see they're like we'll make up in
