FILM

“Legalize Freedom!” is written on the advertising banner dragged by a plane across the sky in Louisiana. In other images of this intimate and clairvoyant documentary about the white trash milieu in the southern States you see the freedom to self-destruct at work. The lovers Mark and Lisa are heavy drug addicts. Other characters worship family and weapons and long for a real America, how it was before multicultural society washed – hated in the film – President Barack Obama into the White House.
