Life in Virginia's Appalachia Moonshine

On the series premiere, we explore Franklin County, Moonshine capital of the world, to get a better look at the history of white liquor. We travel the backroads with Henry Lee Law, Roddy Moore and Bethany Worley as they share their expertise and stories of the past and the economic outlook for this now legal favorite of Virginia’s Appalachia. Bridging the past to present, the show celebrates the rich culture and history of Virginia’s Appalachia by seeing how treasured traditions are kept alive and are thriving today. This six part mini-series takes you on a journey exploring the intricacies of making moonshine, experiencing different Appalachian cuisine, watching logging first hand, and putting needles to fabric with quilting, successfully canning, and even going on a turkey hunt.
