  I was born in NC. Family  settled there 1752 on my  mother's side;  second generation Irish on my daddy's side.    I went to Quail Hollow Jr. High & South Mecklenburg High with Rich Hall. I was shy, unpopular.   He was funny, offbeat. He went north and hit the comedy scene.  I m glad he made it. This is the only  documentary I've seen. I'm watching em all now

  I'm a southerner, and in my life I've never seen anyone deconstruct the region with greater intelligence than Rich Hall brings to the subject. This piece absolutely reeks of the truth.

  Dang, wondered about Rich Hall’s journey in life. This doc blows me away on many levels, especially that this is BBC and not American because more of his countrymen need to see this. Hall is a multi-layered genius whose name belongs with the best.

  I am blown-away, speechless in my admiration of Mr.Hall's plain-spoken assessment of the South in literature and film. Bravo!

  I can't believe not one of his documentaries have aired in America. It makes no sense.

  Excellent documentary. So much better than the current trend for comedians pretending to be dim while going on 'a journey' to discover their subject; Rich is smart, demands you keep up with him, and knows his stuff. Great not to be patronised for a change.

  I still find it astonishing that this is a BBC production rather than someone in the USA making it
