3:02 pm
same breath as the sanctions on the head of the popular mobilisation unit in iraq that's also been sanctioned. by the said that this is an attempt by a desperate administration in the last few days to try and really show that they are not a force a stabilizing force in their region the united states that is the sentiment here and it has been over the past few years the iranian foreign minister had presented a peace plan a 4 point peace plan to the united nations in 2015 but of course these kinds of designations and sanctions are not new for iran and the revolutionary guard was theirs it made it a terrorist organization back in april of 2019 the reigning embassador to yemen who was appointed in november a month later in december he was sanctioned by the u.s. government so the view here is that this kind of behavior is not new it's part of
3:03 pm
the u.s. attempt to try and destabilize this region and also war wage. pressure campaign on iran the belief here is that this designation will only hurt many people because the aid that is reaching them is coming through a port that is controlled by the hutus and it's also being seen as an attempt to try and make things much more difficult for the incoming u.s. administration of president elect joe biden u.s. house speaker nancy pelosi says she will go ahead with impeachment proceedings against all unless she is removed from office 1st the 25th amendment allows vice president mike pence to declare trump to carry out. search and rescue teams in indonesia are working to recover the black boxes from the passenger plane which crashed with 62 people on board on saturday the devices are expected to shed light on reasons behind the sub plunge into the sea search teams

thank you last november and. don't know what a strong side of. this is where we're. seeing we're taking pride in the way we look but not done really is a really nice thing out before and people think they're playing for a version of. what is a hillbilly living not familiar with modern time this is why we're calling our capability or passing like a better flag doc type job with your left a on the end of. black family but don't live one i'm not going as much now ma'am an inch thick and magnum whack whack my interview go whew talk about them both but what's going on honestly i think amber and you know brian doing the body because good of you was my sister the following my own you're going to get to know me
3:07 pm
a lot better too all. these are rivers the bones that we fear is america cannot tell the sun it did just like this to his house. ouch i grew up in appalachia watching my grandfather shows like. i in the beverly hillbillies. i hated those shows growing up going up that's going to. do you care if you're. my champ there's a long history of stereotyping has plagued the appalachian region. they don't trust voters really are at the dump truck 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
3:08 pm
a film about the trails of appalachian people in pop culture i news coverage about the region exploded and suddenly everyone was talking about the great divide. bloomers has read urban vs were all in one region my hometown region was singled out as the reason for trump's rise. my hometown skipper can take you right in the heart of the appalachian coalfields though when most people hear my accent they assume i'm from the south. appalachia is a region with a history and culture that is complicated and all its own the term hillbilly was born here and more recently the idea of the heart trap country. i.
3:09 pm
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 rural america particularly appalachia. i relate to both worlds. as a progressive feminist and filmmaker i was curious to visit my hometown during this
3:10 pm
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 university of kentucky and up packed 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
3:11 pm
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. isis made hell smaller and not childhood home run before us. we moved out of that house and not in 98. is that rebel flag right there in the middle. and this was my bedroom or what here my dad did all this brick work. for
3:12 pm
the record this flag pole 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 of that time there are basically 2 job opportunities call and walmart. i work at wal-mart. they get you in the get for a. special you do know when or when you know when. you know me in the
3:13 pm
best way you came. in just. to make intimate. or floyd county kentucky your farm some of the poorest places in america one road out floyd county one that's right next door to my county where i grew up education is the 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 paid so this is. that show made me feel shame for being from eastern kentucky during the war. more than $3000000000.00 to build highways. for the rest of america but the university of kentucky. would take to get away. from. that t.v. news program had a lasting impact on me it was the 1st time i saw my community for trade as poor
3:14 pm
white trash a legacy that goes way back. to. the . war. in america. i. worked for a trip to the roots of. the war on poverty is complicated. 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. somebody. parachute just have to jail was full of glee that's what the government i guess
3:15 pm
thought we needed it was an 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 for my wife. so when i say the family and i say the depiction of the poor appalachian mountain people. may because. as that. it's where my granny shelby lives. they look for neat. and good i'm just putting this my flaming on me in that i'm going to give you high baby it's a good thing you know what group you. bring you this let's click that on your belt so that it i don't ever bill is actually how. i'm going to agree to get right
3:16 pm
to let you keep me or. are at granny's see perfect because i was roosters are teething roosters your bird so that's one of the 1800 question you actually got me are you to l.a. for so i want you funny just like some on stage or some talking i'm knocking or should trump hit he's been wearing trump shirt trump. which we all have. he so he went with us 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
3:17 pm
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 has 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 safest stopped it should have been say the locker room talk about. abhi honest 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
3:18 pm
so i could vote for trump going to caucus here people from out as a bloc that or i'm from really don't want to have her 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 did you vote for. i voted for hillary clinton oh. i did you all i could have 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 mustered up to the burp you girls just ran. a shitty l.g. upside their head hurt and they to burp. and you did lol lot smarter but i'm. pretty sure that you know you will still
3:19 pm
a lot of good in their own benefit if you leave to me becoming a radical progressive and we still love you no matter what oh yeah we've. clearly. for god about that's. how this is interesting this is the story that the city paper didn't like saying 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 and 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. my whole life i was told to get out i never questioned why. i want to serve our country but the
3:20 pm
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. the brotherhood of the pretty. new think that was all somehow related to their stereotypes of mountain people or to yes. they still think northerners always did that they'd always think that they're above the elite hillary said we're all deplorable according to her we're all nazi we're
3:21 pm
a bunch of backwoods people that are under her feet. you could put half of trump's supporters into what i call the basket of deplorable zx. 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
3:22 pm
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 the t.v. station manager and her you were. what you were. right. i would have never hurt him any more than i had heard you. say 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 i know there are a lot of them got. arkansas' kind of there there it pulls back after the concert so . i guess i'm rambling on same time again from these media portrayals is that it produces shame and so if i try 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
3:23 pm
ashamed of it. as somebody who grew up in the region have always fill several layers of being the other always describe this film are perpetually immigrants because we've been here so long i mean my family has been appalachian 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 polls 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 appalachian she didn't like we had to know but it was literally. appalachia was a construction it was a social and cultural invention for example iowa is a construction to the difference between iowa and appalachia is you know when
3:24 pm
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 by remote ignorant barefoot lazy and so has really been a way to mating the dispossession of the mountains it's
3:25 pm
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 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 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 didn't need help and this is when we do need help. why do we need to go if we came to.
3:26 pm
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 all. you have very little if anything in our area i think this area should be very happy that corporations such as our us steel and others are here. for decades 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 and lifeless. a brand that you've got a good thing to say i mean don't play you saying may be but you're obviously going to fight it better. than lose maybe i'm not black. because my granny i remember these massive floods you know the flood of 77 floods it took homes floods that you know people had to raise their houses and they suffered deeply from that and didn't
3:27 pm
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 a wrong is for fema coming in and help but i mean people this is this is it's a shame. it's more than a show. they don't care about people like us that live out here in these areas. that have. water that it will. only support we it was. unknown but. 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
3:28 pm
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 biter is to a certain. it is so down that 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 when she ever for someone who would make a comment that he freely would grab. i think she'll have a very different answer at that time in her life. the 1st episode in the new series exposed the imperial origins of the drug trade commerce was a good fire and are always good for commerce of use thanks very much want to go and open its passage from the far east to europe and the united states. guns any money
3:29 pm
well the money in these mountains is open. drug trafficking politics some power the era of empire is on al-jazeera. he started as a modest man. i carry a soldier who'd never imagined he might one day become president of egypt. he had an ambitious wife and son he became an ultra crap and was imprisoned for the almost full killing of protesters. the story of the rise and fall of hosni mubarak the family episode $10.00. it worked out as a regular since it slowed which was a principal presenter and as a correspondent with any breaking news story we want to hear from those people who would normally not get their forces heard on an international news channel one
3:30 pm
moment i'll be very proud of was when we covered the polish quake of 2050 a terrible natural disaster and the story that needed to be told from the heart of the affected area to be then to tell the people story was very important of the time. moving toward the world war when. world. i'm sam is a down and with a look at the headlines here now just sarah the united states is preparing to designate yemen's who theme movement as a foreign terror group it controls the capital and the country's main aid port a u.s. bank saudi led coalition has been fighting the group in yemen since 2015 they accuse her 3 rebels of launching attacks against civilian targets in saudi arabia and targeting major oil facilities. reacted to the u.s.
3:31 pm
move saying it is america that is the source of terrorism in a tweet the healthy said the policies presented by it express a crisis in thinking a humble has more from santa. the many observers believe that this would for the worse and the humanitarian situation in the were torn country especially as according to the united nations over 1880 percent of the country's population now. are under the public the line or have been. have been posed to the brink of farmer so the many hope that the upcoming administration would would bring warring sides to back to the negotiating table to resolve their differences peacefully u.s. house speaker nancy pelosi says she will go ahead with impeachment proceedings against donald trump unless he is removed from office 1st the 25th amendment allows
3:32 pm
vice president mike pence to declare trump unfit to carry out his duties and alst him search and rescue teams in indonesia are working to recover the black boxes from the passenger plane which crashed with 62 people on board on saturday the devices are expected to shed light on the reasons behind the sudden on into the. malaysia's reimposing a 2 week coronavirus long town as infections surged to 3000 a day it will apply to follow on pour and 5 of the country's 16 regions israel's prime minister binyamin netanyahu has approved the construction of nearly 800 homes for jewish settlers in the occupied west bank it comes just days before u.s. president elect joe biden is sworn into office biden has been critical of israeli settlement policies in the past donald trump has largely supported them those are your headlines it's witness now.
3:33 pm
you know 9. 183 emerge in these b. and listen to the story. now really to be this is harlan county u.s.a. . i saw this movie when i was 19 everybody glad on the picket line and will waive your right if they allow stand it. it was the 1st time i remember seeing the people of eastern kentucky represented on film. this film inspired me to make documentaries. that was like an aha 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
3:34 pm
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 a latch as sort of quirky in quaint people's but as industrial has become interested in the region for minerals for lumber or 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 or 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 the mountain people as dangerous and threatening if they stand in the way of progress.
3:35 pm
they're all aaron aaron aaron now now now marrow 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. in the liver and there is this horrifying right. now if you hear that blip 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 an acknowledgement of the city's exploitation of the world this whole god damn landscape of raping our lewis my extreme.
3:36 pm
are you nervous your little day are you nervous. this. way. this is. trying. we had to do it and look for. intel now they come in our. got to look in. the same person that i was when they put that make up i have my record and it and they kind of. 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
3:37 pm
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 the women.
3:38 pm
nude and i wished i would could be an actor. i just love to go to. this blundering. 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 well. but his hope and his hinderance. when i 1st seen the movie i didn't know that part were going to be in there. and i thought to must fail the people that's going to say that movies go if i manage this
3:39 pm
trace a robin county. sports bar that has a white trash theme it's called the rest of mullet. 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 shooting and i think it only bothers me in the same way the white people are telling their black through adopting a pop culture that's not your experience leave it alone. it would be the day it is called the white trash party oh my god it's not me just me but the best get stolen away this am pretty good do you. know.
3:40 pm
where you get your ideas about 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 with a local white trash or minister are turned into you know drinking glass trash and saw a lot of deliverance when i was a kid. if the new hipster but right no like white trash the point here yeah absolutely. sure. a lot of pictures that are maybe dressing like this don't even 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 are going
3:41 pm
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 in trying to look hard look in can vegetables and drink moonshine. the co-option of politicians there's a long history there. here mcconnell in the senate won his 1st election running a t.v. ad in which he used how. he played the hillbilly. switch to mitch bush george w. bush is seen as a redneck that's you i sure have noticed child privilege. totally different. ones on the show one for the country. there's
3:42 pm
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 the salt of the earth you know the people that we lift up and from the left you get these stereotypes a vicious loaded against their own economic interest because of gods because of 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 cosseted i mean they have contempt for the core of the country for the middle class for rural america and they're now admitting 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
3:43 pm
a lot of coal miners and called companies out of business. we're making a movie every media representations going to watch american people so what do you think is important 2060 how minds for one is of my own thing the jobs they review or the commons is gone it's got really bad a lot of what you think about the election. anyway it goes there's no way no coal mines and it's going to lose a lot of kentucky people jobs. might go a lot of people not be able to. support their family. now. well i'm. very rude to women in. your right and rice's what do you think is to make america great.
3:44 pm
do you still believe it or remember him believe he's certain you believe. this is you. high thank goodness. but it didn't work for 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 opposition 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
3:45 pm
always have to find somebody and to tell that story. in memory of the black i watch that show that they're finally comes down to the fact that there is a small black community here then that in this place that i didn't even know about for all my years of living as crazy 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 up 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. we had a day in secret and. we did 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
3:46 pm
a person everyone should be able to say who they are as a person. i was always very big tomboy went 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 can teach 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
3:47 pm
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 your sales 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 you are not by me for that then you're lazy
3:48 pm
