We watched a movie about the people of the Appalachian mountains. These people practiced traditions that basically no one else has in a really long time. They killed a pig on camera. It was gross. There was a large amount of controversy about how to actually show cases these people without exploiting them. Kelly, the photographer, is from the area and he is trying to tell the story of his people. The photographer would always make sure his subjects were okay and understood his photos before asking for permission but that wasn’t enough for all viewers of this work. In the class we all seemed to have different impressions of the film. It also seemed that context is the most important thing for photos like this.
