"Minervini deserves credit for going where few high-minded filmmakers have gone before, revealing a side of Americana rarely seen on-screen." -The Hollywood Reporter

Official Selection: Cannes Film Festival (Un Certain Regard) - Toronto Int'l Film Festival - Montreal Int'l Documentary Film Festival

At the margins of society lives a wounded community who fear the threat of being forgotten by political institutions and having their rights as citizens trampled. Following Mark, an itinerant drug dealer who drifts through Louisiana's backcountry towns with his girlfriend, renowned Italian documentarian Roberto Minervini ("Stop The Pounding Heart") offers an unflinching look at the underbelly of the American Dream.

An intimate portrait of the poverty, drug use, racial tension and pent-up aggression that plague these communities, this astonishingly powerful film straddles the tenuous borderline between violence, depravity and tenderness. Minervini captures these crumbling homes, murky bayous, and the marginalized people who occupy them with "that rarest of all aesthetic devices: human empathy." (Cinema Scope).
