| Jesco White |
Jacob Young's
Dancing Outlaw is a documentary short introducing us to one Jesco White, a tap dancer, spouse and drug abuser and all around miscreant from Boone County, West Virginia. After introductory footage that establishes the trailer trash milieu of the region, this 1991 film endeavors to humanize what could have been a cartoonish portrait. White and his family are presented without a smidgen of smirk, telling stories of their lives, loves, and fracases. Footage of Jesco's father, also a graceful dancer, adds a welcome sentimental note to this unvarnished film.
