Interview with Freeman Hughes - Shannon County Film Digitization Project

[@oldman9843]

Man has enough wisdom for 20 people . I could listen to him all day .

[@LibrariesMSU]

This interview is raw footage used later, in part, in the documentary "Shannon County: Hearts of the Children" (beginning here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qKCXn4anodiSmNU). It was recorded in 1979, prior to the use of digital video recording, and because the video and audio had to be recorded separately, the hand and device signals were used to synchronize the film and audio recordings later (similar to the use of a clapperboard).

Great video of the people who lived with less and were happy.

This video was their raw material, never meant for publication.

They're called gallus overalls. A lot more comfortable than the other kind.

@1:30 If you need to lite the stove and are out of lighterfluid, then one trick is to bend over and aim your buttox towards the stove, hold the lit match-stick or lighter near your sphincter and RIP A GUSHER!! The flame will reach the target 🎯 and 🔥! 😂. Jk lol.
