It’s adapted from Lois-Ann Yamanaka’s Wild Meat and the Bully Burgers. I saw it on KHET (PBS) some time back.
I have to say I enjoyed watiching this. Although I didn’t recognize anyone. But that should be expected since I’m from Texas. The strange thing though is this looks a sounds really familiar to me – like if I have seen the show somewhere before.
Oh well… later.
