THE LAST ONE, is an Emmy-winning documentary, produced by Neil Hutcheson of NC State! It features moonshiner Popcorn
Sutton, and depicts Sutton distilling his
final batch of illegal liquor, while interviews with Appalachian folklorists,
storytellers, and noted authors explore the role of moonshine in Appalachian
history and identity. The affable Sutton dominates the film, weaving
explanations of points of craft with stories of a lifetime of experiences
in the moonshine trade.
Popcorn Sutton’s fame grew exponentially this past March when he committed suicide following a series of highly publicized moonshine busts. Neal Hutcheson, producer and director, comments, “Popcorn’s death underscores the cultural preservation value of films like THE LAST ONE, a fact that I doubt escaped the Emmy selection committee.”
THE LAST ONE was produced by Sucker Punch Pictures and funded in part by grants from the North Carolina Arts Council and United Arts of Wake County. Hutcheson is best known for his collaborations with the linguist Walt Wolfram at NC State University, including the popular documentary MOUNTAIN TALK, which laid the groundwork for several further documentaries.
