Documentary

Filmmaker Stan Woodward is joined by South Carolina folklorist Saddler Taylor in this “road film” that travels a spontaneous investigating-and-recording-as-you-go journey through the farm roads and by-ways of four rural South Carolina counties. There, they find home cooking and barbecue prepared by folk-heritage culinary food artisans using ancestral recipes and methods that have been passed on to them by mothers cooking over wood-stoves and fathers cooking in BBQ pits dug in the ground.
