''The Wild and Wonderful Whites of West Virginia'' is a 2009 documentary film directed by Julien Nitzberg, chronicling the White family of Boone County, West Virginia. ==Synopsis== The film follows the White family over the course of a year in their daily life through first-person interviews. The film mentions the details of the death of patriarch Donald Ray "D. Ray" White, as well as his rise to stardom as one of the most famous mountain dancers of his time. The illness of his widow, Bertie Mae White, is documented throughout the course of the film. Locals consider Bertie Mae "The Miracle Woman" because of her lifelong dedication to raising abandoned children. Throughout the film, Bertie is seen supporting her family despite her intolerance of their dangerous and reckless choices. The younger generations of Whites are followed to drug deals, criminal trials, hospital beds, and jail cells to recount the wild and outlandish events in their lives. A group of local professionals in Boone County act as a Greek chorus as they speak about the Whites, mostly criticizing their negative influence on the community.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1396227/ )〕 Stemming from generations of coal miners working in risky job conditions, most of the White family possesses a fatalist attitude and a lack of fear of death. Various members recall violent cats with neighbors, family members, and other locals. Other crimes include larceny, prescription fraud, shootings, armed robbery, forgery, stabbings, and parental custody. D. Ray worked in the coal mines during the scrip payment era; Mamie explains how D. Ray's frustration with his employers' corrupt practices led him to "outsmarting the system." D. Ray legally signed each of his children up for "crazy checks" during early adolescence. Mamie discloses to the audience that each month, she (and other members) receive social security checks monthly from the government due to their inability to hold employment because of psychiatric disability. 〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1396227/ )〕
