Storyline
Deep in the heart of the Appalachian Mountains in West Virginia, where every man owns a gun and a moonshine still, abides living legend Jesco White, "the dancing outlaw". As a boy Jesco was in and out of reform school and the insane asylum. To keep him out of trouble, his daddy D-Ray taught him the art of mountain dancing, a frenzied version of tap dancing to wild country banjo music. After his father's death, crazy Jesco dons his father's tap shoes and takes his show on the road. Written by Warsaw Film Festival

and remains an original. That being said, the cut style filming makes it difficult to get engrossed in the film. It is less than factual as well, but that is to be expected when movies are made about real people. You ask anyone from or around Boone county and they'll tell you true. While the main character is fun to watch as he descends into madness, the real life of Jesco White is not near as dramatic, nor as entertaining. There is no saving grace for this movie, nor for the main character. There could be an interesting story here only if the real Jesco lived like in the movie. This movie lacks imagination and lack a believable plot.
