Early Errol Morris documentary intersplices random chatter he captured on film of the genuinely eccentric residents of Vernon, Florida. A few examples? The preacher giving a sermon on the definition of the word "Therefore," and the obsessive turkey hunter who speaks reverentially of the "gobblers" he likes to track down and kill.

One of my favorite types of film, I love the none celebrity real human, being themselves. Lauded director. Short, captivating.
Vernon’s a small city on the FL panhandle next to Georgia and Alabama. Want to see what life is like for a Florida cracker? Watch this mess.
A mixture of really quirky individuals. Interesting watch but I’d say inferior to The Gates of Heaven.
A documentary about a small town where nothing happens just like in this film
This is a very odd and interesting slice of rural life in the early 80's.
I guess Florida has always had the vibe of human zoo that the rest of the country looks in on. Wonder how the folks being filmed felt.
Another beautifully observed slice of life by the Vince McMahon of documentaries, Errol Morris. Wish it was longer.
Show the gobblers.
