This film is a must see for anyone interested in quality independent films. The actors are all amateurs, and they capture the essence of a segment of rural Southern society as no professional can. The theme of fear of the unknown OTHER has seldom been addressed better on film. The various theories propounded by the citizens of Farr, Mississippi as to the nature of the threat they perceive in their midst have an all too familiar ring. Is it the government? foreigners? technology? The response to the fear is hilarious, but sobering. I laughed as much as I ever have in a movie, but even aside from the humor it is a remarkable film which deserves wide circulation.
