Searcy County

Original title Searcy County

I’m a Northerner, a Boston-bred Jew. But, somewhere along the way, Arkansas became my second home. I have passed this livestock auction house many times – and I had always wanted to film it. One day, I finally brought my camera and………well, I just hope I created a piece that is respectful and honest, a view into a little-known world through the eyes of an outsider.
