Dominic Murphy's feature debut, which has already develpoed something of a cult following, is a semi-fantasised biography of the 'dancing outlaw': legendary Appalachian mountain dancer Jesco White (Edward Hogg). Born into abject poverty and continually in and out of reform school throughout his childhood as a result of his wild behaviour, White learns the art of mountain dancing - the feral cousin of tap dancing, played out to frenetic country banjo music - from his father, D-Ray (Muse Watson). By channeling his dark thoughts and crazed energy into his dancing, White struggles to control the psychosis for which he is frequently hospitalised, but the demons of his addictions and his troubled past keep resurfacing. Carrie Fisher plays White's much older lover, Cilla.

Please note this is a region 2 DVD and will require a region 2 (Europe) or region Free DVD Player in order to play. There's The Devil Runnin' Thru My Blood... This unique trip into the dark corners of Whites' mind is set deep in the heart of the Appalachian Mountains, West Virginia. Jesco's Daddy, the legendary D-Ray White, teaches young Jesco the art of Mountain Dancing - a frenzied version of tap dancing to wild country banjo music. Years later, following his Daddy's murder at the hands of a pair of drunken rednecks, the crazy but charismatic Jesco dances his way around the countys' bars where he meets the love of his life Cilla (Carrie Fisher) Desperate to settle, but continuously tortured by his Daddys' murder, Jesco plots a violent revenge and a "...howling hillbilly hell trip.."
