Moonshiners
Think the era of bootleggers, hidden distilleries, and “white lightning” is a thing of the past? Think again! This is a thriving multi-million dollar industry. But for the moonshiners, it’s more than just business; it’s a tradition that stretches back centuries, handed down through generations. It’s woven into their history and culture. Despite its surprising persistence, this practice often skirts the boundaries of legality. “Moonshiners” delves into the lives of those who craft their illicit brews, typically in secluded woodland areas using concealed equipment, and the local law enforcement officers who strive to regulate them. Viewers will get a rare glimpse into practices seldom shown on television, including the pivotal moment when a moonshiner ignites their still for the first time. The show also introduces legendary figures, such as the infamous moonshiner Marvin “Popcorn” Sutton.
