Goat killing chronicles homegrown ingenuity in the mountains of Appalachia
English
In the coalfields of Eastern Kentucky, rural communities use their own ingenuity to resurrect a worn down economy centered for too long on timber and coal.
Three generations - nephews and nieces, uncles, great uncles - of one family shepherd us through the harvest of their homegrown meat goats. They discuss how mountain-raised meat fills a savvy local niche in the global economy and share how their expectation of the second coming guides them in their craft.
Broadcast on Mountain Community Radio WMMT-FM in 2003 and transom.org in 2004.
