Guest filmmakers Andrew and Chelsea Moynehan will provide a Q and A about their documentary on rural SW Virginia.
‘Big Moccasin’ tenderly portrays the lives of four residents of an Appalachian Valley in an effort to uncover sidelined American stories. The 25mile stretch of road in Virginia is brimming with tales of the civil war, the depression and the undying affection of the residents who live there toward the very land itself. The anxieties of people who are removed from mainstream society are exposed and a complex collage of tradition, faith and friendship is created.
