The documentary focuses on the life of the families and people living in a very different setting.
Living in a small mining town with no grass or trees created some differences but the human spirit and activities were the same as in any other city in America. There were politics, baseball games, dances, intrigue,
shopping, and jobs. |

Eighteen Ducktown Basin residents were interviewed in the making of the documentary. "The stories they tell are of their lives growing up in the Basin," Moore added. "The hardest part was trimming down the hours of
interviews to fit into our goal to keep the project around 1 hour," Moore concluded. All of the interview footage will be donated to the Ducktown Basin Museum to help preserve the history of the area. Local
residents that will appear in the documentary are Mary Louise Landrum, Richard Jabaley, Richard Wagner, Barbara Dilbeck, Barbara Holder, Peggy Kilpatrick, Keith Dilbeck, Alden Dilbeck, Dawna Standridge, Joyce Allen,
Jimmy Helton, Barbara Proctor, Jim.my Proctor, Sarah Verner, Stan Helton, Steve Helton, Ron Singleton, and Robert Brown |
