Rich Hill: ĺ䁥€_Weĺ䁥_re Not Trash, Weĺ䁥_re Good Peopl

In this excerpt from the Independent Lens documentary Rich Hill, we are introduced to the small town of Rich Hill, its high school, and the three boys who are the center of the film: Andrew, Harley, and Appachey. All three of them have challenging home lives, with very little money, but as they show here, each are fiercely independent and haven’t given up hope.
