by social and economic despair when and when a snake the band of local heroes in one of us have more responsibility to change our nation but fighting for their suburban dream on al-jazeera. be the hero of the world. wash. your child is there with me so ron and remind of our top news stories the u.s. house of representatives has called on the vice president to remove donald trump from power after the assault on the capital last week it's passed a motion pens to use a constitutional amendment to declare the president unfit for office but pence has already ruled out such a move as mike hanna reports from washington d.c. the resolution is that that without jack should the motion to reconsider is laid on

the table ultimately this appeared to be an exercise in futility as expected given the democrat majority in the house the motion was passed but there's only after the vice president stated he would not invoke the 25th amendment and remove president trump from others in a letter to the speaker of the house the vice president said and i quote i do not believe that such a course of action is in the best interest of our nation or consistent with our constitution he added under our constitution the 25th amendment is not a means of punishment or usurpation invoking the 25th amendment in such a manner would set a terrible precedent. the debate did serve to indicate the arguments that are likely to be used in the impeachment process that will now begin in the house on wednesday the president was hell bent on trying to challenge undermine and overturn

the results of the election in all of the events leading up to january 6th and on january 6th that is the profound direction of the president's judy. there are those republicans who strongly disagreed including one who was controversially awarded a medal of honor by president trump on monday in kenya calls to impeach the president or remove him from office for using the 25th amendment i don't think are healthy for our nation early in the day the president made his 1st public appearance since the eruption of violence in the capital last wednesday while besetting a portion of the border wall he continued to deny any responsibility for the damage and the deaths lashing out at those in congress seeking his impeachment the impeachment hoax is a continuation of the greatest and most vicious witch hunt in the history of our country and is causing tremendous anger in division and pain. but the majority of

house members are adamant that the violence in the capital last week was a direct consequence of what they call incitement by the president the seed has resulted in what the f.b.i. and the acting u.s. attorney say is the most extensive criminal investigation ever launched in the u.s. . i think the scope and scale of this investigation in these cases are really unprecedented not only in f.b.i. history but probably d.o.j. history in which essentially the capitol grounds outside and inside are essentially a crime scene. charges have already been laid against some 70 individuals and this number will increase substantially in the weeks and months ahead the department of justice says the crimes being investigated ranged from misdemeanors like trespass to conspiracy sedition and murder. my canner al-jazeera washington.

and we really know you're

a hot wheels. and we do the raise money for front of you and you want to leave you. don't know what a strong side of. this is where we're owning our home so we're taking pride in the way we look i'm not going to leave the really nice thing out. and people think they know where you work or you know. what is hillbilly a little bit easier on the you with modern times this is what we're calling our capability or i think i can better legs not my job when you left them. ok how. they got there live when i'm not does let the bag whack whack my inner big dog that the fun that was going on. the ember of you know brian doing. good if you was my sister in the fall you gotta get to know me

a lot better all of 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. 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

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 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. 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. but i did have. to look.

at it. 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 hey. 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 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

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 were 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're from. oh my goodness gracious. this this made hell smaller and my childhood home right 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 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 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

best way you came. in just. to make intimate. or forward county kentucky your farm some of the poorest places in america one road out floyd county that's right next door to my county where i grew up odrick asian 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

white trash a legacy that goes way back. to. the . war. in america. to the roots of. 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. somebody. parachute just have to jail was full of glee that's what the government i guess

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 4 appalachian mountain people. may because. as that. it's where my granny shelby lives. fairly. i'm good i'm just putting this my flaming on me and then i'm going to give you high baby it's a good thing you know what group you. grant me this let's click that on your belt so that it i don't ever built you actually how. i'm going to agree to get right

to let you keep me for. all right brain so see perfect because i was roosters are. roosters here birds out there that's one of the 1801st question you actually got me are you to l.a. for so i want you find me just like some old stager some talking i'm not kidding or should truck it he's been wearing trump shirt trouble. 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

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 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

so i could vote for trump going to caucus here people when i'm 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 thought of 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 the birchwood you girls just ran a shitty guild you upset them. and they took bert. and you did lol lot smarter but i'm. pretty sure that you know 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. for god 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 a 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 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. need 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 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 it basically just like sterilizes any kind of culture or regional uniqueness that might be and i was told you've 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 a transfer 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 that they get enough of that when i think of same time and 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

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 freight generations. 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

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

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 for look at all 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.

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 got a good thing to say i mean don't play your thing 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

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 the 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

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. that they're 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. i think at that time if somebody would have asked her what you ever for someone who would make a comment that he freely would grab when i think she would have a very different answer at that time in her life. they coming home and in search of work to provide a better life for the families they've left behind. but though their labor is vital to lease food industry they risk exploitation by corporations and organized crime.

trapped in a system with little hope of escape people empower investigates. on al-jazeera. al jazeera is an investigative unit of team censored and unseen video from wu high filmed as the coronavirus are great i was just beginning to lose it in the knowledge oh shit i don't actually have a gun more exposing this secrecy and censorship by chinese authorities. ha ha ha ha ha and a health system struggling to cope i'll just leave the investigation 3 days that still the world. held for over 3 years in an egyptian prison cell denied the right to a fair trial no charges have been brought against al jazeera correspondent me to saying his crime journalism. to demand my true links and voice solidarity with all

detained journalists sign the petition. 'd 3 news same. route. they're watching all jazeera of me so robin and remind us of our top news stories the u.s. house of representatives has backed a resolution calling for a cause to choose tional amendment to be used to remove donald trump from office the president is accused resign as he rises in the capitol last week the request from the democrat controlled house now goes to vice president mike pence but he's already ruled out applying the 25th amendment to declare trump unfit for office

saying it would set a terrible precedent trump insists his comments before the capitol hill riots were appropriate he's described proceedings against him in congress as another witch hunt. the 25th amendment is of 0 risk to me but will come back to haunt joe biden in the biden administration as the expression goes be careful what you wish for the impeachment hoax is a continuation of the greatest and most vicious we're joined in the history of our country and is causing tremendous anger in division and pain far greater than most people will ever understand which is very dangerous for the usa especially at this very tender time u.s. federal prosecutors say criminal charges have been placed on the 70 people involved in last week's capitol attack and it expects that number to grow into the hundreds the f.b.i. says it's already received more than 100000 videos and pictures to help identify

the perpetrators u.s. secretary of state by pompei it says al qaeda has established a new home base in iran he provided no evidence to back up his statement it appears to be a last minute diplomatic offensive against iran in the final days of the trumpet ministration and indonesia's president who are due to become the 1st person in the country to be vaccinated against coronavirus he was given the chinese made corona indonesia plans to inoculate more than 180000000 people about 2 thirds of the population by march next year backs a nation of health workers will begin on thursday infections are at their peak more than $9000.00 per day and china has reported $115.00 new krona virus cases the highest a the increase in more than 5 months authorities have put 3 cities in hervey province under lockdown to curb the spread before the upcoming luna holiday those will have lots more news in half an hour we return to witness to stay with us.

that's.

you. under the story emerged at least be and listen to the story. that i really believe this is harlan county usa. i saw this movie when i was 19 everybody glad on the big laugh and will wager ok ok i'll stand it. it was the 1st time i remember seeing the people of eastern kentucky represented dignity 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

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 the latch as a sort of quirky in quaint peoples but as industrial has become interested in the region for minerals for lumber for cohen 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 not just talking about hillbillies i.e. people who live in the mountains we're talking about poor people who live in the mountainous 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.

they're nowhere now now now now now 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 aisle but if they are playing. and the live rants there is this horrifying right it is here. now if you hear that black on the band. brings up this image of rape. in deliverance there is an acknowledgment at the beginning of the film with the images the mountain being blown up and knowledge meant of the city's exploitation of the world we're going to reach this whole damn landscape of great. extremes.

are you nervous little they are going or. i don't. want that way. to be trying we had to do it and look. in time while i come in are quiet i got to looking. at. the same person that i was when they put that make up to have my hair. and it and it 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

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 neighborhood.

knew that i wished i would could be an actor. i just love to go to. this month. i'm hoping that i'll get everyone. 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. because hope and hindrance. when i 1st seen the movie i didn't know that part we're 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

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. but. it was the day it is called the white trash party oh my god it's not me just me but the best get 7 only this and pretty good. joke.

where do you get your ideas about what trash looks like wow i see a lot of imagery on the internet i see a lot of the called memes are memes 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 so a lot of deliverance when i was a kid. if they knew hipster but right now we know like white trash we point here yeah absolutely. sure. a lot of the stores 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 millennium goals 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 in trying to look hard look in. vegetables and drink moonshine. the co-option of politicians there's a long history there. mcconnell in the senate one his 1st election running a t.v. ad in which he used how. he played the hillbilly. george w. bush is. that you got your. nicest child. totally different. ones on the show one for the country. there's

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 of 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 interests 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 casodex i mean they have contempt for the poor the culture 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 point to all miners and called

companies out of business. we're making a movie every. patients going to watch american people so what do you think is important 2060 how minds for one is of my own thing the 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 we know it's going to lose a lot of kentucky people jobs. lot of people not be able to. support their family. now. well i'm. very rude to women in this. day or crisis and rice is what do you think about all of us to make america great.

do you still believe or am handy leave my kids are your beliefs. i thank goodness. but it didn't work for 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 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 finally down to the fact that there's a small black community given 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 up in college her parents really races obviously she's white her parents had a very negative view of black people and dangerous all kinds of stuffs. we had it in secret and. we did almost 2 years and her parents pulled out of school once they found out that we were dating and i was either since 12 those are really is a heartbreaking thing for me it's tiring to have to hide as if you you are

a person everyone should be able to say who they are as a person. that was always very big tomboy went to school developed a crush on a girl like i was laying in my bed and just cry. every night because my entire family they didn't know they would hate me like just disown me. sometimes people come in and they haven't really had to hear what it's like for an l.g.b. teach you to be discriminated against for a person of 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 lake county kentucky is something like 13 files or $14000.00 a year unless you are over the age of $65.00 and that drops down to like 6 biome something dollars a year. and 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 i and the vast majority of the i'm always 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 yourselves that's not the case. it's 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

after this article came out there are all these people who outside the community are saying things out of this article is really sad i feel so sorry for the people who live here ok like this person so you know the bra 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 got to get out you can't stay you don't need to be here you got to get out there's nothing here. that made it like turnaround right at something else so yeah i don't know i don't know what to tell you you. have like a big circle you know like say if we're going to do a montage of you know there. is here to. go to get started to go in the race for president voters head to the polls to choose between the 1st woman president and the businessman running for his 1st

elected office point the team 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 that lead still unknown is the outcome on election day. turn on a winner. what's up america let's take a president ahmadinejad of the r block and again our time there. for the. reading that he along. new hillary. can't read this one honestly openly 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.
