Well, since no one else is commenting ... I'll chime in.
I grabbed this because I'm a North Carolina native myself, and my own grandfather was a tobacco farmer. Turns out, this is really a very well done documentary, and it's very close to home for me (in more ways than one). No joke, there's a guy in the movie to whom I think I might be related.
My only criticism is that I really tire of people bitching about smokers, even when they try to make it subtextual. But this is definitely a different kind of film, and it's not "preachy" at all. The filmmaker has a sense of humor I really dig (watch for the scene where he's "dogged by a dog").
Anyway, for my first rating here: for a VHS screener, well ... it has the quality of a VHS screener.
