For me, like a train wreck that I could look away from after long enough.

People are complete shite.

I remember in the beginning of the movie they interviewed some "prominent" resident of Boone County and he said that they had recently had a young man that got a scholarship to MIT. And then he had this incredulous look on his face and he said something to the effect of "and your doing a film on the White's". It was priceless and pathetic all at once, the filmaker had nothing to say.

Netflix has it in the Documentary section.

You'll probably have to torrent it unless you have a friend that has a bootleg copy. It was originally on PBS I think, so the way I and many others saw it was a bootleg VHS or DVD recorded from it.
