ukraine's capital for the 1st time in weeks hitting an apartment blocking keys. it came hours before leaders from the group of 7 nations, started a 3 day summit in germany. they have reaffirmed their support for ukraine and announce more sanctions against russia. but for months into the war, leaders are facing multiple crises and countries are hoping for concrete solutions to solve high inflation and food shortages. step lawson has our port now the scenic beautiful views of the bavarian alps are in contrast with the urgent and grim crisis. the 7 leaders of the world's highest income countries have to tackle just before german chancellor, olive shoulds greeted his guests rush and rockets hid the ukrainian capital key if it was seen as a matter from president vladimir putin to the leaders of the g 7 who want to impose more sanctions on russia, like an export ban on gold. mister president, you were reacting to the russian missile strike from the apartment building. he, the u. s. president replied calling it more of russia's barbarism. leaders of the g

71 to show a united front against potent and their common support for ukraine. but their unity is increasingly under pressure. now that the fall out of the war is affecting more and more people worldwide, including in g 7 countries. ali is even stopping it all g 7 countries are concerned about the crises that we have to deal with. some countries see shrinking growth rates, increasing inflation shortage of good sent disruption of supplies. these are not small challenges together. we have to take responsibility, but i'm very confident that we will send a clear signal of unity from the summit thus isn't building that. the most urgent signal 8 organizations are waiting for is a clear plan on how to tackle food shortages as a consequence of the war is a column that wouldn't stop the war to stop the invasion because is action affected millions of people very far from where he was where he thought he was having his

you know, his wall, that is a call. but beyond that as well is with think about how do we come, how do we deescalate, how do we talk about it, or how do we get everybody on the table? it is time to think about the lives of those were affected and, and, you know, and this crisis as soon as possible. a survey health ahead of the summit shows that while most europeans feel solidarity weight ukraine and support the sanctions against russia. many are worried about the, the numbers cause of the war and they want the war to and as soon as possible, they also not necessarily want to booth military support for you. great, a message leaders here may have to take into account steadfast al jazeera in garbage, fox and kia. meanwhile, inside ukraine in the capital keys, there have been several attacks. officials say one person was killed, one an apartment building was hit. a number of others were injured. this includes children, up to 14 missiles were launched on the capital on sunday morning in my sustained marriage key was experienced in monks. are desirous charles stratford was that

the motive behind me civilian residential building hit. we understand this morning by at least one cruise missile were told that another one landed in the near vicinity. also, the happy civilian casualties are ongoing rescue efforts. we understand to try and free one woman injured, possibly fear dead. i mean, you can see the level of destruction of the power of these missiles the say these 2 to a for the capitol given the early hours of this morning, south african authorities are investigating the death of at least 21 young people found inside a popular tavern in the coastal town of east london. they'd been out celebrating after high school exams, but he's collecting samples to see if the victims are exposed to some kind of poison. and i was following developments in columbia this, our local media have been reporting that at least 2 people are killed. dozens more

been injured when a stadium collapsed. it's understood that part of the arena collapsed in the middle of a bull fighting event in espanola. this footage was captured by a witness. samples escaped and ran through the streets, not injured, even more people have more on that story. a bit later on. witnesses the program coming up next. i'll see you later. ah ah ah.

ah. this is already been here really day here, real good. and we do they raise money for our fran off i want to stay with this is where we're owning our hillbilly. we're taking pride in the way we look down to leave the really nice lane. they help the program with what is you know, billy le let me know you with modern time. this is what we're calling arguably here

. i think i can better leg. oh, hi, dr. well, you're left paying a live one. i'm not does not manage dick the bag whack, whack my interview, go talk about the phone. i was going on on it to amber, go full. so brian, doing a married. you was my sister, the biology male. you got to get to know me a lot better to all of these are represent the things that we fear is america a did. does that and that is have but he don't have. well, i wish i grew up in appalachia watching my grandfather shows like he hot. oh, in the beverly hillbillies. ah, i hate the shows growing up. i'm gonna go with granite. you can't shoot a whole much. there's a long history of stereotyping that has plagued the appalachian region. yeah. oh

man. oh, the dumb trav voters really or the dumb trombone. she is the certainly all sound as tacky and as stupid as mind blowing. li, ignorant as he does, i. in the run up to the 2016 presidential election, i was making a film about portrayals of appalachian people and pop culture news coverage about the region exploded. and suddenly every one was talking about the great divide. blue versus red, urban versus rural in one region, my hometown region was singled out as the reason for trump's rise. my hometown kemper, kentucky. right in the heart of the appalachian coalfields. though when most people hear my accent, they assume i'm from the south. appalachian in the region where the history and culture that is complicated and all sound the term hillbilly was born here. and

more recently the idea of the heart of trump country ah, ah ah, ah, this is me during the election. this was my facebook page. ah this is my granny shelby ah, around the time of the election. this was her facebook page. ah, donald trump grabbing me, i just can't believe my grandmother posted this on my wall. i may be the only

person from kemper kentucky and los angeles. almost every one i know here despises tromp. back home, the perspective is quite different. the 2016 election may painfully clear the disdain that urban liberals have toward 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 his device of political moment. her we are on our way to meet house holler, 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 i packed up u haul and moved out in. 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 is 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, the reactions to the way i talked or insulting and made me feel silent. i moved to los angeles years later and to this day, people fill out. where'd you get that accent? where are you from? oh my goodness gracious. this is me

holler and my childhood home right before us we moved out of that house in 1998. is that a rebel flag right there in the middle? yeah, this is my bedroom up 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 were basically 2 job opportunities. cole and wal mart. i work at wal mart, ah, it gets hard times out here and then gets breath better during the winter when you know, and none of you know me and the best way you can just try to make me back in the hills of floyd county kentucky. you will find some of the forest places in america. one road out, lloyd county, i'm going. that's right. next door to pike county where i education is the only way out. when i was 9 years old, i saw this 48 hours news program which made sweeping generalizations about people from my region. like we were all to be pity. this is your room. i was a little crowded. that show made me feel shame for being from eastern kentucky

during the war on poverty. in the sixty's, the federal government spent more than $3000000000.00 to build highways, connecting the appalachian hills 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 every day. that's probably struggle for the things many people take for granted that tv news program had a lasting impact on me. it was the 1st time i saw my community for trade and for what trash, a legacy that goes way back. ration to they here and now declares unconditional war on poverty. in america, ms. johnson took to the roots of appalachian property, the morgan county kentucky. the war on poverty as complicated while it helped some people by establishing social welfare programs like food stamps and medicaid. it

led to an influx of volunteers and journalists from around the world and 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 was one day a school. somebody came in with a truck and gave a every student, they are a pair of shoes. just half the gym was full of ugly shoes and that's what the government, i guess, thought we needed. and it was an interesting to have people coming in to look at this area. but it became very evident that it's, it was critical and we did that on the porch and we went barefoot. that was just what we did. so when i say the film and there is a depiction of suppor appalachian mountain people, and it really irritates me because i didn't see us is that the for my grand shelby live in

new fairly new and good. i'm just putting this my, me and then i'm going to give you had hi good. it's good for you granny this. let's click that on your bell so that it sounds i don't if bill ashley ha, hi. hello. you know, i'm gonna greet you get right to let you keep me her brian. all right, granting so see. perfect. because otherwise is roosters are competing rooster here, bird. so this 11 teeny, tell you 1st are you to actually sell me on you to yeah l a for song. oh, what you find in seattle? you said all stager some talking are now kidding worship trump camp. he's been wearing trump shirt. trump cap, which will have a

a. so he went with us to the rally. you're going to look back at this election. i'd say this is by far the most important vote that you've ever jazz for any one at any time because it was unfathomable to me, the trump could be hillary. i just could not understand why my family, who voted for barack obama supported him. what is it about donald trump that makes he want him to be the 45th president of $100.00 states? well, the man knows how to make money. no, he wrote, this has got over $10000000.00. he has know how to make money. so i believe you could actually bring the jobs back and create jobs. i'm not saying probably the same stopped. it should have been say the locker room talk, but i'll be honest with you. i'm not, may anybody who hasn't done something similar to that and they just blow it out of

proportion. did you all expect to be this enthusiastic about the election because it's been very intriguing to see some of these posts that had been going around. i was a democrat all my la and then primary. i went and changed to republican just so i could vote for trump during the caucus here. for a mountainous about that for i'm from really had and want to have our back before. isn't just the same old thing, empty promises. yeah. there. you know, they're just too much stuff on hillary. you know, just all the investigations and stuff like that. so what we had to loose vote, trump reachable for? i voted for from, oh shang god. i did. you all water was getting him sour look.

all i know i did full disclosure. i did a vote by mail application. i did the ballot who's i must not, not a virtue you girls just rap. i should have g upside them. hadn't. dion, you bet. and let you, bert, and you'd be lot smarter or thought, okay. i appreciate you. are we still a? yeah, he did that. i even if it did lead to me becoming a radical progressive, we still love you. no matter what. oh yeah, we did. you need me god about that. ah, this is interesting. this is a story that the city paper did in like saying 10. i think the question wise,

where do you see yourself in 10 years? i would have been 18 here. and i said, angela. and that's what happened. my family has lived in eastern kentucky for 6 generations. he was a co minor, my grandparents on both sides, worked in the coal industry. you were probably 6 right months old. my whole life i was told to get out. i never questioned why i went to serve my country, but people just it rode. de leon talked over me and like i wasn't even there, they sang just because i grew up in the city and they talk with more pronounced words. especially when i know fans went after certain, california that was a worst i was looking for the the brotherhood under bri up. ah,

do you think that was all somehow related to their stereotypes of mountain people or to yes. yes. will they? they still think northerners always did that. they'd always think that they're above you. bailey hillary said that we were all deplorable. according to her. we're all nursing. we're a bunch of back woods, people that are scum under her feet. you could put half of trump supporters into what i call the basket of deplorable z. right? people in california and all these other sites look at the hillbillies like lot may, they have certain perception of us because whatever they see on t v. well, bobbie, i empathize when i was that youngster at 18 years old going from the holler to the big city, lexington kentucky. that's how i felt, you know, them, i was

a journalism student. 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 sterilized as any kind of culture or regional uniqueness. that might be an i was told you've got to speak correctly on which man i was b incorrectly. and of course, i believed it like, well, the teachers, the professionals, you know, i was working for the m p r affiliate i worked at the city newspaper of the editor, the student paper. i was the edwards tv. stay wondering. change for you were from what you were. all right. ah, i would have never hurt him any more than i'd heard it june, bug my sag. is that like ours got you got this kind of like florida panhandle thing going where's what you really want is more of a savannah? actually i don't that other book on november, arkansas kind of live. it pulls by half of the constant in arkansas,

alabama. yeah. you mailed that real while they get a have same time. and again from these media portrayals is that it produces shame and self hatred. i mean our, with a lot of young people who don't want people to know where they are from. they want to change the way they speak, they 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 felt several layers of being. the other. always discouraged is feel like a perpetual immigrant because we've been here so long. i mean, my family has been an avalanche of for 8 generations. to some extent were still treated like immigrants were treated like we're from another country. when we go out into the rest of the united states, it's such a strange nominate. people speak slowly to us and expect that we're not

gonna, you know, get common references. a woman once asked me if i knew johnny carson was, you know, because i was from appalachian she didn't like we had phoebe's or nobody was literally apalachee was a construction. it was a social and cultural invention. for example, iowa is a construction to the difference between iowa and appalachian 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 appalachian, everywhere in the world. there are happy latches and therefore everywhere you go, there are hillbillies. if we think of the hillbilly as sort of an outcast group, this your 1st trip to new york, i collected an article in which the official chinese news agency criticized a group of chinese people living far away from big gain. as the equivalent of

hillbillies. everybody has an appalachian, everybody has somebody that they can feel superior to. we all do bad. why the hillbilly is the image of a guy with a corn cob pi remote ignorant, their foot lazy and so has really been a way of legitimate eating. the dispossession of the mountains, it's a region of people who are deprived not part of the american dream. they don't really deserve the kind of resources. and welf lie beneath the land of appalachian particularly coal. it's only a region of trash, so why not trash it? in the flood valley, so the appalachians about 20 people are dead. 20000. they've been moved out of helicopters and robots to blame for the flash. blending is being placed on extreme erosion. side, coal operations, strip mining,

enlarge tree clearing and allow the water to cascade into rivers with great speed. there were immediate promises of temporary housing from the federal government, but no trailers have arrived yet. nobody gave us anything we weren't. but then we do need help initially when we do need help. why do we need to go? like if we can't get 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 home town, while it sustained their families, it ravaged the land without call. you have very little. if anything in our area like this area should be very happy, let corporations such as ours, us steel and others are here. for decades, all companies came to where we grew up and took out truckload after truckload of coal. the mining calls floods and destroyed home and left our creeks orange and lifeless. they brand,

you got anything to say, you know, you got anything display that the news media, my, my granny. i remember he's massive plus, you know, plus 77 plus took home 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 migrating i remember her whole life was fighting for support and stuff. this is a flood plain here. what we wrong is for fema to come in and help us. i mean people, this is, this is, it's a shame. it's more than a shame. i don't care about people that live here in these areas that feel water is not a little support. it was around,

but i would call that newspaper and get them to come over and take pictures of the government is supposed to be for bad people. but that is the way, the, the politicians when they get an office, they know who to take care of because they're the ones take care of them. i certainly didn't agree with my grand and 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 minor is to a certain it is so down and they've been treated so badly that they haven't been voted. 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. oh, i think at that time if somebody would have asked her, would you ever bell for someone who would make a comment that he freely would grab one about a i think she'll have

a very different answer at that time. in her life, against a backdrop of syrian independence comes a story of military coups regime change, and insurgency al jazeera well explore the life of id about you shortly achieving his ambition to be syrian president in 1953. but outmaneuvered by his rivals and struck by the assassin's bullet al she shockley sheree. as master of koos oh, now jazeera the latest news as it breaks. you've all the town square features. $21.00 white forces, one for each of the victims of today's massacres. with detailed coverage already up there is with, from around the world with good here. they will read, you know,

the mod go to go home, remains unchanged. to some, a robot is a mechanical or even that self driving tree of the apple. but android today can be the ever, the humanoid robots like, me, will be everywhere. alger 0 documentaries. this will lead on the weird and wonderful world will learn. think and even trust. i feel like i'm alive, but i know i in the machine origins of this owner who's here. lou. hello, i'm mary m. as in london, with a quick update of our top stories, this, our russian missiles of write down on ukraine's capital for the 1st time in weeks

is an apartment blocking keith came out before leaders from the group of 7 nations began a 3 day summit in germany they reaffirm a support for ukraine and outs will sanctions against russia, including a move to bond gold exports. but it's 4 months into the wall eat is facing multiple crises. and countries are hoping for concrete solutions to solve high inflation, food shortages and hunger. well, it was an attack on ukraine's capital keep earlier on, and that's the 1st time the city had been targeted by russian missiles for weeks, for she'll say one person was killed when an apartment building was hit in the early hours and several people injured, including children the ukrainian national guard reported the 14 missiles were launched at the capital on sunday, and the most sustained marriage, kiva is experienced in month. charles stratford has more devoted behind me civilian residential building hit. we understand this morning, or at least one cruise missile were told that another one landed in the near

vicinity. also, the have been civilian casualties. are ongoing rescue efforts we understand to troy and free one woman injured possibly food did. when you could see the level of destruction of the power of these missiles the say these 2. busy to afford the capitol even the early of, of this morning, south african authorities are investigating the death of at least 21 young people found inside a popular tavern in the coastal town of east london. they've been out celebrating after high school exams, lisa collecting samples to see if the victims were exposed to some kind of poison local media in columbia. reporting that several people had been killed and hundreds of others injured in a stadium collapse. this footage was captured by a witness near an event in aspinall which is in central columbia. it's understood that part of the arena collapse in the middle of

a bull fighting event. some of the bulls escapes and ran through the streets and they've injured many people. there are fears at the death toll is likely to rise, given the number of people that were inside a building at a time present, gustavo petros tweeted about this expressing concern for all those a fate are going to bring you more on that story. in the news, hour after witness, which now continues. ah, you owe the story and listen to the story that are laid to the this is harland county usa. i saw this movie when i was 19 era guy to go out on the picket lab. and we'll wender contract. if they'll, i'll stand it. it was the 1st time i remember seeing the people of eastern kentucky represented the dignity on film a. this film inspired me to make documentaries. that

was like an aha moment. i mean, i grew up in a rural place in public education and it wasn't, you know, a space of like radical thought or 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 and a lot of people are vulnerable. i mean, it's really incredible the way that media works and how the stories can get told in the immediate aftermath of the civil war. the local color writing presented appalachia as a sort of quirky and quaint peoples. but as industrialists 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 a interference with their economic plants. 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 eat people who live in the mountains for 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 and people as dangerous and threatening if they stand in the way of progress. in general. no, no, no, no, no, no. you can still hear that. that piece of music, and so you're locked the car doors just in case the car were to break down. leo for the male thing in deliverance. there is this horrifying right now, if you hear that look on the banjo, it brings up this image of rape.

the in deliverance. there is an acknowledgement at the beginning of the film with the images of mountain being blowing up an acknowledgement of the cities exploitation of the rural rate, this god damn landscape lewis my extreme point of view treatment. are you nervous little bit? are you nervous system? i'm not, i've always been that way. this is used to be my classroom. we had today, look for extra in somehow i come in, our class. got to look and pick tools out. i wasn't the same, the same person that i was when they put that make up the head market and it, and it probably shop. ah,

i think one of the things that makes deliverance work on lots of levels is that billy's character and my character we're able to sort of connect, ah, having that seen work really put this film on a different level. which was the break of my life. i guess that's probably one of the great moments ever put on the screen. is there anyone out there who hasn't seen the motion picture delivers? i've seen it a large number of times. well, there is a moment there when he plays the banjo with a 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 was nominated for academy award like what he did annual academy awards presentation. and it's nearly always listed in the top 15 or 30 of the best films of all time ged

in, ah, in how much money did you make for your role in deliberate and they'd never been. mm. i wish i would, could be an actor. i just let to go to latin. yes. that's my doing. i'm open now. get, are you on the hampton inn? 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 for billy about his hope and his hindrance. me. when i 1st seen the movie, i didn't know that partner going to be in there. and i thought to myself, the people this going to say that movie is going to fight men at the stray. so robin county ah ah, this is a sports bar that has a white trash theme. it's got the rusty bullet auction to me is taking someone else's culture and explaining, you know, and using it for your own profit. there's a lot of ironic red neck she and i think it only bothers me in the same way. the

white people are turning their black through, adopting hip hop culture, those. it's not your experience with along with the same day which is called the white trash party. oh my god, i thought we just made the biscuits i went over this from the fans with when you get your ideas about what, what trash looks like. wow, i see a lot of imagery on the internet. i see what are they called memes are means internet means, yeah. somebody will put up a picture of like, torn jeans. i'm here with a local white trash, you know, 40 minute jar turned into, you know, drinking glass, you know, like a crash. and i saw a lot of deliverance when i was kid. ah, if a new hipster like what really? no like white trash like white hair. yeah, absolutely. yeah. a

lot of it's through that or maybe dressing like this. don't even know where apalachee is or understand any of the issues about it. oh, you poor west virginia and you'll have to like my call to get your electricity. when like 14 percent of the power of new york city comes from west virginia, call the history, the millennials are going to be the people running our country. and do they know like that? say, for instance, what virginia has the highest rate of overdose death in the nation from opioid use, but they're wearing our clothes and trying to look our look in. can vegetables and drink moonshine? ah, the co option of politicians. there's a long history there. mcconnell and the senate won his 1st election, running

a tv ad in which he used hound dogs. he played the hillbilly, switch to mich, george w bush and seen them redneck. that's actually nice child privilege. totally different. close ones on the shack, ones, but the country club is a cultural politics to the success of more right wing groups in this country and hinges in part and depiction of white working class people. so from the right you get, this depiction is the salt of the earth. you know, the people that we lift up and from the left you get the stereotypes of vicious. they voted against their own economic interest because of the gun because of gays. and because of the 3 cheese their own behavior is precisely what people on the right point to in enlisting white working class folks for

a very right wing class that they have contempt for the core of the country for middle class, for rural america. and they're now admitting it, 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 cold country. because we're gonna put a lot of coal miners and coal companies out of business. we're making a movie about media representations of appalachian american people. so what do you think is important? 2016. 0 man. her warning is a man. i'm saying the jobs are really here. were the comans is gone. it's got really bad for a lot of folks. i think about the election. oh, anyway, it goes, there's no way, no coal mine is going to lose a lot of kentucky people jobs. and this is from my goal, lot of people not be able to like support their family.

i really want him to be present in united states now. well, i don't like donald trump because he is very rude to women in this able to pay for their well, i can't help delighted they are rice and races. what do you think about his promise to make america great. again, going to big rush live. do you identify hillbillies or? yeah, i'm here. leave my keys. are you dealing with me? i me i why now, but it didn't work. don't don't mess with the color out after you do it. we can go

in and make adjustments, but i don't actually think it's at blue. really beautiful. you know, it's so rare that you see appalachian through the eyes of an appalachian person in like new york city. or, 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 fly somebody. and to tell that story in memory of the black coal mine and i want to make sure that they're definitely hands down the fact that there is a small black community given in this place that i didn't even know about for all my years of living. crazy a law was pretty much completely changed off and it's really got me in touch with my community and just help people don't have to be alone in the world that they live. i did the girl in college. her parents really races. obviously she's white. her parents had

a very negative view on the black people were lazy and dangerous, all kinds of stuff. and we had it in secret. and we dated almost for like 2 years. and her parents pulled out at the school. once they found out that we were dating and i haven't seen her since 2012000 really is a heartbreaking thing for me. it's tiring to have to have far as a person, everyone should be able to say who they are. the person was always very big, tomboy, went to school, developed a crush on a girl. like i was laying my bed in just crow every night cuz my entire family, they found out they would hate me like just disowning. sometimes people come in and they haven't really had to hear what is like for a l g b t q used to be discriminated against our 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 is a guardian article that came out about my home town. 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 overwhelming, the watt and the vast majority of them always vote republican. i'm not conservative. i but i think it's wrong to say, oh,

you guys are stupid, you're just doing it to yourself. you're voting republican, so you're histone, it to your sales. that's not the case. it just seems like, you know, it's, they're not blaming you for being republican and they're by me for being on drugs. if they're not bonded for that and you draw it out by me for that and you're lazy after this article came out, there are all these people who outside the community are saying things like, oh this article is really sad. i feel so sorry for the people who live here. okay. like this person, say the brown people get up and move to places with opportunities, which is what brought people always to. it's the brain, right? they're telling the people to do the same stuff that teachers said to me when i was going to high school and, and bite, well, we got to get out. you can't stay here. you don't need to be here. you've got to get out. there's nothing here. you want me to like turn around or have something now so yeah,

i don't know. i don't know what to tell you to do. why not for you to just have like a big thing with the head. yeah. like say, if we were going to do a montage of the you know, gotcha. yeah. i gotcha. all right. voting is fine with the go. no worries for friends of voters head to the pole, to choose between the 1st woman president and a businessman running for his 1st elected office. 2015 has truly been unlike any political rate we've ever covered before. trump was eager to tout surveys that show him gaining ground, lot of good roles out there to what still unknown is the outcome on election day. now, you know, i don't know where we are. all right. what's up america? let's take a president, y'all. i'm on a hard time with ready daddy. hold on. ah, a new hilder cell. read because we don't know where we are just the

most important election i've ever participated in it before. i really didn't care who voted for this time. i know lots of people with i voted stickers on people seem to be voting a guest here, but we'll see how they're like moving up in the morning. what kind of hang over really b o is hitting arrows for that? well, we're going to like break it or something. went out with . well, i blank, the hilary, i get a lot more votes in kentucky than people blank. yeah, she's not a wham, but there are lots of little blue dots all over this red site. so i was for

my daughter's, i was for me and jason and all the couples. i know who were able to get married on a lot of laura a decision in america. donald trump wins west virginia and it's a state where his message deployed. well, it's whole industry is taking a, beating the map, filling in 19 electoral votes to trump at this early hour. a . it is such a hard question because i love these people because people are people. they have people that built this country to show amazing people. so i would just hope, well ma'am, when i historic what's unfolding right now, it's not over yet. we're watching every state, every electoral, without a doubt,

one of the most momentous nights in american political history are in the bank here . secretary and then you want to pull out, you say, here's the issue, law to red rock, they're smaller, but they're only, it's only 24 percent of the vote for a who all those parcels in hills. what casanova lay. oh gosh, this you lost and i was happy. i'm happy that i support the and i'm happy that my vote helped him get there. i just really believed that hillary clinton was gonna be the 45th president and the united states. i believed it so much and i wanted it so badly. you had your hopes on being to be able to see the 1st woman president now

voted for. then your dream was crushed and i can accept it. you know, i'm not in that camp of like this is a deal breaker and i want to like in my relationships with people who voted for donald trump because we all know people who voted for donald trump. and i know another problem that was clearly revealed in this campaign is that hillary was unable to appeal to rural folk. and i think that hurt her. i want to see like what a girl could do, but i don't want hailey no way up when i ran pristine it's can all vote me. she'll be a girl brownie. i will be a bigger or don't touch that. i won't let that looks like it would get. it looks like it might burn literally bringing your laundry. did you hear my stomach growl?

i had i i've been on about the 500 calorie died if that last 4 days it's not intentional. i'm just, i'm just in the i haven't eaten a whole lot granny. so i am starving and beg something about this fine mill that you are preparing for us. i had the cook couldn't. when i was growing up, were you responsible for making mills for your siblings and your family were mother and daddy now love them. wow. but mother didn't believe that girls should get medication. she wanted me to stay there and take care of kids washed dish and sweet mop floors and stuff rather than of school. i just wanted to experience life. that's what my dream was. get no jobs pre enough. we'll make something of myself. i have not heard about you. i've never heard you say that you

had a consciousness about leaving. it makes me feel like i am leaving your dream in a way, you know what could be that want and desire that you had and didn't get that. that gets transferred to mom and, and amanda and i like as it came to us, we had that opportunity. you know, you know, i'm so grateful for granting i can't tell you the m m is to be able to go to school. it's so meaningful. yes. because everybody doesn't get an opportunity, you know, the o letter, the wound and joy and the poem and not of complication. but you cannot know a place without loving and hating and filling everything in between. something inside you has to crack the lid and the lot. so your eyes and brain and heart,

just properly those attempting to portray the region must become immersed in the region in a special kind of way. they must go to the mountains, drive these one in room. they must sit and joe, for a while with folk from the front porches, must attend weddings and high school graduation. they must study the history of the place and come to understand them a sin and awake and look at the lands on the faces of the people. the calluses on their hands and not understand the gestational and generational complexities of poverty and culture. i must stand for a while else. smell the air started the gravestones on the hills, that awake inscriptions of name belong to people. not, not very ah,

look in the line. sometimes you have to leave where you came from to find your voice. and other times you have to return to that same place to listen for a deeper understanding. ah, the hillbilly, a harmless caricature or a malicious label denying of people that culture to justify the exploitation of natural resources that the bad and conquer thing has been so successful that even people in a region leave the stereotype, the nickels danger. it's only a region of trash, so why not trash it? what's in a name hill, billy? a witness documentary on al jazeera ah
