White Lightnin'

Product Description

Dominic Murphy's feature debut, which has already develpoed something of a cult following, is a semi-fantasised biography of the 'dancing outlaw': legendary Appalachian mountain dancer Jesco White (Edward Hogg). Born into abject poverty & continually in & out of reform school throughout his childhood as a result of his wild behaviour, White learns the art of mountain dancing
- the feral cousin of tap dancing, played out to frenetic country banjo music
- from his father, D-Ray (Muse Watson). By channeling his dark thoughts & crazed energy into his dancing, White struggles to control the psychosis for which he is frequently hospitalised, but the demons of his addictions & his troubled past keep resurfacing. Carrie Fisher plays White's much older lover, Cilla.
