Appalachia’s Blood & The Moonshine Empire: Franklin County Documentary For Sleep

Описание: Franklin County, Virginia earned a notorious title during Prohibition: the Moonshine Capital of the World. In the 1920s and 30s, tiny mountain towns like Boones Mill were receiving more sugar than New York City, fueling an underground whiskey empire that defied federal law. This documentary explores how an entire county turned into a criminal enterprise—complete with hidden stills, sheriff corruption, federal raids, and the infamous Great Moonshine Conspiracy Trial of 1935. From secret sugar trains to blood in the hollers, discover the true story of moonshine, murder, and rebellion in Appalachia.
