Country Boys

Frontline has done it again! This is an amazing series, can't say enough about it. Set in the Appalachian region of Kentucky, it follows two young men in their last three years of high school. You get a snapshot of rural white America, and the incredible challenges facing these young kids. An important part of the documentary is David School, the alternative school attended by both of the young men.

Here is an interview with the founder and director of David School.

The filmmaker, David Sutherland, took part in an online chat hosted by the Washington Post.

I recommend it highly. Buy it from PBS, or rent it from Netflix.
