What's up with the toast?

I was born and raised on the Mississippi Gulf Coast. The more "progressive" part of the state. Northern Mississippi is a very conservative place, closed minded at times ignorant. Some by choice, some through a lack of exposure. To see a documentary of this nature is thought provoking and insightful. If Jheri could just get the whole toast situation under control I believe they could come full circle... I enjoyed the show and I feel it can help those who may have similar life experiences. Simple folks, just navigating the waters of life. I wish them all health, happiness and love. Great Documetary.

Heartwarming and respectful

This is the sort of film that could change hearts for some. A lovely woman and matriarch. It's a shame her children went so long without her presence in their lives. It shouldn't be this hard. I'm so happy she stayed her path.
