13 minutes?
I watched the full hour and a half version of this about a month ago on youtube. I’m not going to even bother with this 13 minute version.
The full version of this movie is great.

I agree ... but the clip is sufficient for the busy to become interested

The full movie ..... An American Story

This gets posted every couple of years. It should be in everybody’s bookmarks for occasional reseeing. Once upon a time when things were mostly local things like this could be done. Now with the Government in the air you breathe it is not. I can remember a time when I was a teenager when in this town there was no federal presence beyond the small customs office(this is a port) and no State government beyond the Highway Patrol office on the edge of town. The government did not have to be taken into account every time you bought something or drove somewhere. The primary government presence was the Sherriff and his department, which was corrupt but did not interfere in peoples’ lives or crash into peoples’ homes for amusement. It was efficient and immediate in handling of crimes. The corruption was pretty much limited to petty bribe taking and control of what was left of the moonshine business.
