What the Reviewers Are Saying:
Bill McKibben, Author of The End of Nature and Deep Economics:
APPALACHIA: A History of Mountains and People is a magnificent account of one of the nation’s most wonderful regions — hard-used but beautiful, and a wellspring of the national culture!
Jeff Biggers, The Huffington Post:
Years in the making by filmmakers, Jamie Ross and Ross Spears, APPALACHIA: A History of Mountains and People transcends the usual media portraits of poverty, pity, depravity and the picturesque in America’s most misunderstood and maligned region, and delivers a breathtaking view of Appalachia’s extraordinary role in shaping our country.This PBS series is a landmark event for television, and it couldn’t be more timely. A breakthrough journey!
Diana Nelson Jones, Pittsburgh Post-Gazette:
APPALACHIA could be the beginning of a cure for society’s malignant attitude about the region. An engrossing and beautifully filmed and illustrated series APPALACHIA is both a paean to and an investigation of the world’s oldest mountains. It gives first billing to the mountains themselves—the “soul and spine” of a people as diverse as any, but bound by a heart tug for “home” that’s all about being an underdog who knows a superior beauty.
