Absolutely fascinating look at Appalachia

I can't remember how, but I stumbled across a couple of these Peter Santenello videos earlier this year. They were interesting to see him visit a a coal mining area in West Virginia and chat with several folks. He's got a great manner that seems genuine when he deals with people and I think that enables him to get good interaction with them that may not otherwise be possible.

Then I happened across a video of him with Titus in another part of Appalachia. Titus is an interesting and likeable young man who is almost completely off the grid. He has no DL, and has only a land line with an answering machine, no computer, cell phone, etc.... I'm thoroughly enjoying the videos with Titus (I think there are 3 that Peter has done with him I'm about 1.5 videos in.

I'll post the Titus videos first (they are long, but interesting), then the West VA videos farther down.

Mining deep in Appalachia


Some more videos by Peter along the same vein
