Jesco White Returns To Big Screen
MetroNews
New York, New York

A documentary focused on Boone County Resident Jesco White and his family is premiering this weekend as part of the TriBeCa Film Festival in New York City.

Documentary Filmmaker Julien Nitzberg follows the Whites for a year in "The Wild and Wonderful Whites of West Virginia."  Jesco White rose to national fame as part of the PBS Documentary Dancing Outlaw.

Executive Producers Johnny Knoxville and Jeff Tremaine are known for their work with MTV on the show Jackass.

Promotional material for the film calls it "an edgy and often hilarious look into a dying breed of American outcasts," saying the documentary "exposes the powerful forces of corruption, poverty and West Virginia's environmentally and culturally devastating coal mining culture."

Screenings are planned for this Saturday and Sunday along with showings on Thursday, April 30th and Saturday, May 2nd.
