LAWLESS is available now on Digital, Blu-ray Disc and DVD.
They were brothers who became outlaws, and outlaws who became heroes... The three Bondurant boys (Shia LaBeouf, Tom Hardy, Jason Clarke), along with their sultry new hire (Jessica Chastain), command the most lucrative bootlegging operation in Franklin County, Virginia. The locals consider them “indestructible.” But the law-in the form of a corrupt special deputy (Guy Pearce)-wants a cut of their action, at any cost. When youngest brother Jack (LaBeouf) gets a taste of power with a deadly gangster (Gary Oldman) the whole business blows sky high. Based on the astonishing true story, the Bondurant brotherhood is the stuff of legend.
Directed by John Hillcoat. Written by Nick Cave. Starring Shia LaBeouf, Tom Hardy, Guy Pearce, Jessica Chastain, Mia Wasikowska, Jason Clarke and Gary Oldman.

Family has been in Franklin County since they first migrated in 1670’s before it was even known as Franklin County. Family still hasn’t moved off the old farm land. Proud to be from somewhere with such rich history!

@charliemanis9193 4 года назад

My grandfather has told me stories of how his family made moonshine up until the 60s and last week he gifted me the family shotgun that they used to protect the stills

@greggreen6636 5 лет назад

Im Virginia born and raised, the history of moonshine in franklin county is almost legendary. Sadly now you find in most rural areas meth labs. Its funny though the govt then put more into stopping moonshining then they do the meth labs

@timsoyars1652 4 года назад

That’s because meth doesn’t take tax money out of the government’s pockets.

@joshuadukes652 4 года назад

@brendabooher6683 4 года назад

Greg Green, I agree. Meth is killing so many people, and making the people who are on the poison kill friends and loved ones for no reason. I wish the government would concentrate more on getting the meth labs shut down. It would save so many lives and the world would be so much safer. God Bless.

@Mike1Lawless 3 года назад

@@brendabooher6683 You can't shutdown something that has a market of buyers. As long as money can be made there will ALWAYS be someone that'll risk making it. This is called capitlism and that's how it works, legality is irrelevant to a system designed to reward manipulative people who exploit others for their own gain. All you do is open up holes in the market for other people to fill, and by increasing the risk from more harsher punishment you merely drive more violent crime. The higher the risk the more violent the crime gets! This is all driven by money, and what is and isn't a crime is dictated by those most in control of it. So it would save no lives and nothing will ever change, hope is the crutch of the ignorant!

As a Floyd Va Native, (my family has been here since 1782) Franklin County has always been a good neighbor, lol!! My Grandpa made white liquor in Floyd (late 30s early 40s) that ended up being transported out of Franklin. He got out of the "trade" as he got older, but because of his past, I got interested in the heritage part of it. It is our culture here. And I'm proud of it!! All the government is upset about is that their not getting their "taxes" out of it. Plain and simple. And as a southerner, any time we can get back at the "Feds", IM ALL FOR IT!! Nuff said y'all🤠

@sheltdog8463 Год назад

Water is definitely the key ingredient for a good shine especially if you have a source of limestone water. I’m sure Domino was surprised because for every gallon of water you need two pounds of sugar! 500 gallon still equals 1000lbs of sugar! That’s one reason making shine is no easy task.

I moved from Franklin County out to Roanoke when I was still a child and I am, though a limited amount of my time was spent there, very proud to be from Franklin County. My father’s side of the family is from West Virginia and did their fair share of moonshining and, ironically, my maternal grandfather worked for the NC ABC. Hopefully Franklin County cleans up their act so that we can replace druggies with bootleggers.

The word moonshine didn't come from Ireland they called it distilled spirits the word moonshine was born in usa after the mountain ppl made it under the light on the moon .

@sympathy4thedevil88 3 года назад

Nope. "Moonshine” (unaged spirits illicitly distilled “by the light of the moon”) is thought to be inspired by “moonrakers,” a name for apocryphal English brandy smugglers who raked up kegs from ponds. When caught, they pretended to be fools attempting to rake cheese from the reflection of the moon.

well I was born in Speedwell VA, raised in Wytheville VA, never tasted moonshine like they brewed in the big walker mountain.... before they built the tunnel there was a very small road over the mountain to West Va. if a government man went up there to find a still they was never herd from again. if you go looking in big walker you might not find your way out. I live in SC now I have been here for 33 years & never found anyone to get any shine from. would love to find some.

Honestly I don't understand the attraction to that stuff. Back when I was in the Navy I had a buddy who was a good ol boy from Alabama. He once came back from leave and gave me a smallish mason jar of the real thing. White lightning. I took a sip and just about gagged. I have never tasted turpentine but I cannot imagine it would have tasted any worse than the moonshine. Nastiest thing I have ever had in my mouth. I will stick to my Scotch and Bourbon thank you very much.

@lonesoldier2485 6 лет назад

I'm from Alabama, and White Lighting is still bootlegged in this state to this day, because it's so easy to make. And it's generally 115 proof, hence to why it's such a strong taste, and you're never to drink the first amount of it to come out of the still, because it's know to have methanol in it, and if you do consume it, you'll potentially go blind.
