White Lightnin' is a 2009 dramatic thriller film directed by Dominic Murphy and written by Eddy Moretti and Shane Smith. White Lightnin' was inspired by the life of Jesco White, an Appalachian mountain dancer. It was shown at the 2009 Sundance Film Festival.

Synopsis

Jesco White (Edward Hogg) is the last of the West Virginia mountain dancers. He is the son of D Ray White (Muse Watson), the greatest mountain dancer of all time. Ever since Jesco was a child, D Ray tried to keep him on a straight path—one that would put him on the right hand of the Lord. Dancing was just one way to keep Jesco from losing his soul. But from a young age, there was temptation drawing him away from D Ray, away from the dancing. There were the voices in his head, tormenting him. Maybe that’s why Jesco loved to get high.
