Summary In modern art, the lines between acceptable and exploitative are becoming more and more blurred. For over thirty years, the contemporary photographer Shelby Lee Adams has been both acclaimed and criticized for his depiction of the Kentucky Appalachian inhabitants as hillbillies. Documentarian Jennifer Baichwal, turns her accomplished eye to another fascinating topic, embarking on a mission to tell the true stories behind the faces in Adams' photos
