0:00:02 > 0:00:07Miriam Margolyes is on a mission to find out the state of the States.
0:00:07 > 0:00:09She's two weeks into her journey.
0:00:09 > 0:00:11Erm... Oh, something is...
0:00:13 > 0:00:15Somebody's stopping me.
0:00:16 > 0:00:19I'm being pursued.
0:00:19 > 0:00:23I'm apprehensive. I don't want to fail.
0:00:23 > 0:00:25Hey, you're going down a one-way.
0:00:25 > 0:00:28- Oh, my God!- Yeah, this is a one-way, going southbound.
0:00:28 > 0:00:30- You're travelling northbound. - Thank you. God, I'm...
0:00:30 > 0:00:33- You got a licence and insurance? - Yes, I do.
0:00:33 > 0:00:36I think it's extremely important
0:00:36 > 0:00:40that we should understand the Americans
0:00:40 > 0:00:42that we don't know, and give them a chance.
0:00:42 > 0:00:44Thank you for stopping me.
0:00:44 > 0:00:46I'm very rough on Americans sometimes,
0:00:46 > 0:00:50and I tend, occasionally, to look down on them,
0:00:50 > 0:00:54and that is shocking, and I should be smacked for that.
0:00:54 > 0:00:57- AMERICAN ACCENT: - If there's trouble, I'll find it!
0:00:57 > 0:01:00Is your kind face going to get you through all sort of endeavours?
0:01:00 > 0:01:04My only weapon is my mind and my beauty.
0:01:04 > 0:01:08So, when I turn my lights on and get in front of you to stop traffic,
0:01:08 > 0:01:10you swing this way and just go back south.
0:01:10 > 0:01:13And of the two of them, I think I'll go for the mind.
0:01:13 > 0:01:16SHE CHUCKLES
0:01:16 > 0:01:21This programme contains some strong language
0:01:21 > 0:01:2376-year-old actress Miriam Margolyes
0:01:23 > 0:01:27is on an epic two-month road trip down the middle of Middle America.
0:01:27 > 0:01:28This is a journey that will take her
0:01:28 > 0:01:30down through the American heartland,
0:01:30 > 0:01:33ending in the Deep South of New Orleans.
0:01:34 > 0:01:36A former US resident,
0:01:36 > 0:01:40Miriam's going to discover the America she doesn't know,
0:01:40 > 0:01:42and meet the people whose voices and votes
0:01:42 > 0:01:44are changing the shape of the country.
0:01:51 > 0:01:54Having sweet-talked her way out of trouble,
0:01:54 > 0:01:56Miriam's back on the road.
0:01:56 > 0:01:57Jeez!
0:01:58 > 0:02:03That was really horrible.
0:02:06 > 0:02:10We have an exceptional country, an exceptional way of life,
0:02:10 > 0:02:15but it's being tread on by sick, sick people.
0:02:15 > 0:02:20Pride in our values should be taught by parents and teachers.
0:02:20 > 0:02:23CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:02:23 > 0:02:28American values are apple pie,
0:02:28 > 0:02:30picket fences, and family,
0:02:30 > 0:02:33of which family is the most important.
0:02:33 > 0:02:34Thank you.
0:02:34 > 0:02:39The trouble is that a hell of a lot of families are not functional.
0:02:41 > 0:02:44Over 200 miles into her road trip,
0:02:44 > 0:02:46Miriam's heading towards a small summer camp
0:02:46 > 0:02:49in the great outdoors of Southern Indiana.
0:02:52 > 0:02:56For generations, Americans have been sending their kids to summer camps,
0:02:56 > 0:02:58trying to instil in them the values
0:02:58 > 0:03:01that will make them perfect members of society,
0:03:01 > 0:03:03and Miriam is going to join them.
0:03:03 > 0:03:06I don't really like the great outdoors.
0:03:06 > 0:03:08I like the great indoors.
0:03:08 > 0:03:13I loathe action and sports. Loathe them!
0:03:13 > 0:03:16I sounded just like Maggie Smith then.
0:03:16 > 0:03:17No, but I really do.
0:03:17 > 0:03:23I was always the last person to be chosen for a rounders team.
0:03:23 > 0:03:25I say that with some pride.
0:03:28 > 0:03:32Miriam will be joining 150 children at Camp Carson
0:03:32 > 0:03:35for an experience the camp claims will empower them
0:03:35 > 0:03:39to take on life's opportunities as confident, caring,
0:03:39 > 0:03:44responsible and honest young people of strong character and faith.
0:03:44 > 0:03:46- Welcome to camp. - Thank you very much.
0:03:46 > 0:03:50- You ready?- I'll never be ready. - LAUGHTER
0:03:50 > 0:03:53- This is for you.- Thank you. - You're welcome.
0:03:53 > 0:03:56- What's your name? - Miriam.- OK, Miriam.
0:03:56 > 0:04:00- You are in the Kickapoo Cabin this week.- In which one?- Kickapoo.
0:04:00 > 0:04:02- Kickapoo?- Kickapoo Cabin.
0:04:02 > 0:04:04And we're off.
0:04:04 > 0:04:06So, how's it going so far?
0:04:06 > 0:04:09Well, this is not my idea of fun, I have to tell you.
0:04:09 > 0:04:11CAMP COUNSELLOR LAUGHS
0:04:11 > 0:04:14While the young campers have to share,
0:04:14 > 0:04:17Miriam has one of the traditional log cabins to herself.
0:04:19 > 0:04:23- This is your lovely home. - It smells of something. Phew!
0:04:23 > 0:04:27It's just the, erm, outdoor scent. It's very natural.
0:04:27 > 0:04:29Oh! An outdoor scent?
0:04:29 > 0:04:32What do we need that for, if we've got the outdoors?
0:04:32 > 0:04:34Erm, it just makes you feel at home in nature.
0:04:34 > 0:04:39It smells like a sort of lavatory cleaner or something.
0:04:39 > 0:04:42- SHE LAUGHS - I don't know if I smell it.
0:04:42 > 0:04:44You don't smell it?
0:04:44 > 0:04:48Oh, it's gut-wrenching. Phew!
0:04:48 > 0:04:51We can work on that.
0:04:51 > 0:04:52What am I supposed to do now?
0:04:52 > 0:04:57There's a meeting down at Chapel, and that's when all the kids...
0:04:57 > 0:05:00The first time that they get introduced to camp rules and stuff.
0:05:00 > 0:05:04- I probably should go to that.- Yeah. - So, shall we go back to the chapel?
0:05:04 > 0:05:07- Yes, we probably should. - I never thought I'd say those words,
0:05:07 > 0:05:09- but perhaps we should... - We should go back to the chapel.
0:05:09 > 0:05:11..go back to the chapel.
0:05:11 > 0:05:13- ALL:- We can raise the roof!
0:05:13 > 0:05:16ALL CHANT
0:05:20 > 0:05:23Americans seem to pop out of the womb
0:05:23 > 0:05:26singing and dancing as if they were in a Hollywood musical.
0:05:26 > 0:05:29CHANTING CONTINUES
0:05:29 > 0:05:33You've got to appear to be completely confident, happy.
0:05:33 > 0:05:36You know, everything's got to be great.
0:05:36 > 0:05:38Who's excited to be here?
0:05:38 > 0:05:41- ALL:- Yeah!
0:05:43 > 0:05:48I see that it's a bonding exercise.
0:05:48 > 0:05:51You're walking down the path and you see a 10 bill.
0:05:51 > 0:05:53It's just like the one you had last week,
0:05:53 > 0:05:56- so you pick it up and put it in your pocket.- ALL:- No!
0:05:56 > 0:05:59They're making a society with its rules...
0:05:59 > 0:06:01- First one was...?- Listen.
0:06:01 > 0:06:04- Second one was...?- Share. - Third one was...?
0:06:04 > 0:06:06- Try your best.- Fourth one?
0:06:06 > 0:06:08- Doing what's right. - Doing the right thing.
0:06:08 > 0:06:14..but the idea of enforced jollity is terrifying to me.
0:06:14 > 0:06:18ALL CHEER
0:06:21 > 0:06:24And it makes you understand why America is the way it is,
0:06:24 > 0:06:26if this is how they bring them up -
0:06:26 > 0:06:29screaming and shouting and dancing about in a silly way.
0:06:29 > 0:06:32CRICKETS CHIRP
0:06:32 > 0:06:36I can hear the song of the cricket, which is quite sweet.
0:06:36 > 0:06:39Better than kids, anyway!
0:06:39 > 0:06:42Ooh, God, those kids.
0:06:42 > 0:06:44I don't know.
0:06:44 > 0:06:48There's something about hundreds of kids screaming
0:06:48 > 0:06:49that drives me mental.
0:06:51 > 0:06:57The idea of actually climbing and swimming and pottery...
0:06:58 > 0:07:00Pottery - good God!
0:07:01 > 0:07:05That's the bloody last thing I want to do!
0:07:06 > 0:07:10But they're building little Americans,
0:07:10 > 0:07:14and I want to know what that process is.
0:07:22 > 0:07:26A week's stay at camp costs up to 700,
0:07:26 > 0:07:29but reductions are in place to try and get all American children
0:07:29 > 0:07:32to share the experience.
0:07:32 > 0:07:36The camp runs a packed itinerary of sports and activities
0:07:36 > 0:07:39specially designed to create well-formed US citizens.
0:07:41 > 0:07:46Please remove all hats and bandannas!
0:07:46 > 0:07:50Each day begins at 7am in the same way.
0:07:53 > 0:07:55- ALL:- I pledge allegiance to the flag
0:07:55 > 0:07:58of the United States of America, and to the...
0:07:58 > 0:08:02This morning's Pledge of Allegiance was led by Bobby.
0:08:02 > 0:08:03Stampede!
0:08:05 > 0:08:08He's been coming here for 14 years,
0:08:08 > 0:08:11first as a camper, now as a camp counsellor.
0:08:11 > 0:08:16The point of all this, is it to become a better American?
0:08:16 > 0:08:19I think it's more or less becoming a better person.
0:08:19 > 0:08:21CHILDREN SCREAM
0:08:21 > 0:08:24We always talk about taking how you are at camp
0:08:24 > 0:08:26and bringing it into the real world.
0:08:26 > 0:08:30- GIRL SCREAMS - And what's your aim this week?
0:08:30 > 0:08:32This is their one week of summer.
0:08:32 > 0:08:35This is their one week where they can escape all of reality
0:08:35 > 0:08:38- and just live in this camp magic. - Camp magic?
0:08:38 > 0:08:43- Yeah.- Wow, that's high stakes. - HE CHUCKLES
0:08:43 > 0:08:46The longer you're here, the more you see it, I promise.
0:08:47 > 0:08:50After being here for so long and, like,
0:08:50 > 0:08:51seeing what my counsellors did for me,
0:08:51 > 0:08:53and the changes that they made in my life -
0:08:53 > 0:08:55that's what I want to be able to do for the kids.
0:08:55 > 0:09:00- ALL:- We are the dreamers! We are connected!
0:09:00 > 0:09:04I grew up, you know, single mom, going through some struggles.
0:09:04 > 0:09:06And since I didn't have a father figure,
0:09:06 > 0:09:10Mark actually became a really big person in my life,
0:09:10 > 0:09:15and I kind of model myself to be like him, so...
0:09:15 > 0:09:19- So, you feel moved and emotional about that?- Yes.
0:09:19 > 0:09:24I love the way that men aren't afraid to cry in America.
0:09:24 > 0:09:26You know, in England, it's all about stiff upper lip,
0:09:26 > 0:09:29- and all that bollocks. - Oh, camp's a different place.
0:09:29 > 0:09:33- Camp - emotions run freely. - You can show your emotions.
0:09:33 > 0:09:35Camp's a cool place.
0:09:35 > 0:09:37Well... How can I say?
0:09:37 > 0:09:40- I don't think camp's a cool place. - You don't think so?- No.
0:09:40 > 0:09:42- I think it's a remarkable place... - Yeah.
0:09:42 > 0:09:47..but I think it's slightly weird at the moment.
0:09:47 > 0:09:49But I may refine my position.
0:09:49 > 0:09:51Well, I mean, keep a positive mental attitude.
0:09:51 > 0:09:53That's what it's all about.
0:09:53 > 0:09:58PMA - positive mental attitude. Bollocks!
0:09:58 > 0:10:00I can't stand all that.
0:10:00 > 0:10:04- Are we going to hop on the wheel today?- Hop on the wheel?
0:10:04 > 0:10:05Well, I'm going to have a try.
0:10:05 > 0:10:09- This is the whole reason why it's called throwing the clay.- Ooh!
0:10:09 > 0:10:11You've got to throw it right on there.
0:10:11 > 0:10:13You can go and start your wheel up.
0:10:13 > 0:10:16Just ever so slowly. We believe in you, girlie.
0:10:16 > 0:10:19You could go a LITTLE bit faster, if you wanted to.
0:10:19 > 0:10:21- Looking good. - Hey, you're pretty much...
0:10:21 > 0:10:24Don't you dare be so positive!
0:10:24 > 0:10:26- You've got to be positive. - You should see what I make.
0:10:26 > 0:10:28- It's way worse. - You'd be surprised what
0:10:28 > 0:10:31one positive comment can actually make.
0:10:31 > 0:10:34One positive comment will get you a bop on the head.
0:10:34 > 0:10:35LAUGHTER
0:10:35 > 0:10:37What about two or three positive comments?
0:10:37 > 0:10:39Well, now, I wouldn't like to say.
0:10:39 > 0:10:41Oh, look, it's like a...
0:10:41 > 0:10:45- Well, I don't know what it's like. - LAUGHTER
0:10:47 > 0:10:49It's a bit rude, isn't it?
0:10:49 > 0:10:52You might want to smash that one down.
0:10:52 > 0:10:54Yeah! There you go!
0:10:57 > 0:10:59Children are encouraged to choose activities
0:10:59 > 0:11:02that will take them out of their comfort zone...
0:11:06 > 0:11:10..including running their own camp radio show.
0:11:10 > 0:11:13Special campers are allowed on as guests.
0:11:13 > 0:11:15- Hi.- Hello, Miriam.
0:11:15 > 0:11:18So, what do you think is important when you're interviewing someone?
0:11:18 > 0:11:24- The most important thing?- You should be polite.- Yes, be polite. So, don't ask any rude questions.
0:11:24 > 0:11:26- Oh, do! - LAUGHTER
0:11:26 > 0:11:28- Or you can.- I like rude questions.
0:11:28 > 0:11:30This is Camp Carson.
0:11:30 > 0:11:32So, we're interviewing Professor...
0:11:32 > 0:11:36Oh, gosh! Are we practising?
0:11:36 > 0:11:38Just keep going. It's fine.
0:11:38 > 0:11:41So, yep, let's get started.
0:11:43 > 0:11:45Have you ever met the Queen?
0:11:48 > 0:11:51Have I ever met the Queen?
0:11:51 > 0:11:56I have met the Queen. I didn't like her very much.
0:11:56 > 0:11:58She told me to be quiet.
0:11:58 > 0:12:00She really did!
0:12:00 > 0:12:03I admire the Queen. I think she's a remarkable woman.
0:12:03 > 0:12:07But I'm not sure I would like to spend much time with her.
0:12:07 > 0:12:12You know, sometimes, I realise I talk a lot of rubbish.
0:12:12 > 0:12:15Do you have any advice for life?
0:12:15 > 0:12:19Golly! Advice for life?
0:12:19 > 0:12:22And saying that I don't like children -
0:12:22 > 0:12:26well, I don't like naughty children. I don't like noisy children.
0:12:26 > 0:12:29I don't like children I can't communicate with.
0:12:29 > 0:12:34I think you have to take the chances that life offers, be optimistic,
0:12:34 > 0:12:38be generous, and to have a place inside yourself
0:12:38 > 0:12:42that you don't let anyone reach, that's just you.
0:12:42 > 0:12:47But those kids - those kids, I could talk to all day.
0:12:47 > 0:12:52Maybe I can ask you, what does it mean to be an American?
0:12:52 > 0:12:56It means, like, to be very loyal to your country
0:12:56 > 0:13:01and share values and things like that.
0:13:01 > 0:13:03What are American values?
0:13:03 > 0:13:07We all share, like, beliefs towards
0:13:07 > 0:13:11our God, and our flag,
0:13:11 > 0:13:15and just being loyal.
0:13:15 > 0:13:18And I guess that's what we call our values.
0:13:18 > 0:13:19That's a great answer.
0:13:19 > 0:13:22When I started listening to them,
0:13:22 > 0:13:26instead of overlaying them with my mood,
0:13:26 > 0:13:30I realised that it could be a magic place,
0:13:30 > 0:13:32and it was, for some of them.
0:13:32 > 0:13:35What is your favourite thing about American summer camps?
0:13:35 > 0:13:38The thing I like most is the inclusiveness.
0:13:38 > 0:13:42You take kids from everywhere - all different types -
0:13:42 > 0:13:47and you make them into a group that gets on.
0:13:47 > 0:13:50That's what the world has got to learn to do.
0:13:50 > 0:13:52At the end of a week's stay,
0:13:52 > 0:13:56children are expected to have become part of the camp family,
0:13:56 > 0:13:59confident in the values that will set them up for life outside.
0:14:01 > 0:14:03These five people right here
0:14:03 > 0:14:08have been the closest to family, like, I could ask for.
0:14:08 > 0:14:10I want to thank all of you for making this
0:14:10 > 0:14:12one of the best couple of weeks of my life.
0:14:12 > 0:14:17I'd like to thank everyone for helping me with my character flaws.
0:14:17 > 0:14:20I want to thank all my friends here
0:14:20 > 0:14:23for just being here to be my friend,
0:14:23 > 0:14:24because, outside of camp,
0:14:24 > 0:14:27I go through a lot of severe depression,
0:14:27 > 0:14:30and a lot of you guys are helping me get better with that.
0:14:30 > 0:14:32So, thank you.
0:14:32 > 0:14:35Let's not leave that behind at camp.
0:14:35 > 0:14:40I want you to think about how we make it better on the outside.
0:14:40 > 0:14:42What are things that we've learned in here
0:14:42 > 0:14:46that we can take to the outside world and make it a better place?
0:14:46 > 0:14:49# Let there always be some love
0:14:49 > 0:14:52# Some love to give away
0:14:53 > 0:14:56# Let there always be some love
0:14:56 > 0:14:59# Some love to give away... #
0:14:59 > 0:15:01I have been on a journey.
0:15:01 > 0:15:05I have allowed myself to change position, to shift.
0:15:05 > 0:15:11I think camp can be transformative. It can change people.
0:15:12 > 0:15:14# Let there always be a song... #
0:15:14 > 0:15:18Some of these kids do come from very damaged homes,
0:15:18 > 0:15:24and some of them are damaged kids, but they've found a formula
0:15:24 > 0:15:29to help them through those bad times.
0:15:29 > 0:15:34So, camp, to my amazement,
0:15:34 > 0:15:36is a positive experience.
0:15:39 > 0:15:42Miriam's getting back on the road,
0:15:42 > 0:15:45continuing her journey through the middle of America.
0:15:45 > 0:15:48Despite over 14 million kids
0:15:48 > 0:15:51being taught American values at camp every summer,
0:15:51 > 0:15:54something is going wrong when they leave.
0:15:54 > 0:15:57It's estimated that 10% of Americans
0:15:57 > 0:16:00over the age of 12 are currently using drugs.
0:16:00 > 0:16:04We're becoming a drug-infested nation.
0:16:04 > 0:16:08Drugs are becoming cheaper than candy bars.
0:16:08 > 0:16:10I've never taken a drug.
0:16:10 > 0:16:15Never, ever, ever have I ever had a single drug.
0:16:15 > 0:16:16It's pathetic, actually.
0:16:16 > 0:16:19I just don't like anything
0:16:19 > 0:16:23that takes you away from your own control.
0:16:23 > 0:16:26And the only time I think I've ever been drunk -
0:16:26 > 0:16:28really drunk in my life -
0:16:28 > 0:16:31was at Cambridge, where I was at university,
0:16:31 > 0:16:35and I went to a sherry party and I had 17.
0:16:35 > 0:16:3817 sherries, you know? Just one after the other.
0:16:38 > 0:16:40Well, I was ill for hours. Hours!
0:16:40 > 0:16:43And after that, I never was drunk again.
0:16:43 > 0:16:47The thing was, I wasn't drunk, I was incapacitated.
0:16:47 > 0:16:52I was just one long vomit for three or four hours. It was dreadful!
0:16:53 > 0:16:56Drug overdose is now the number-one cause of death
0:16:56 > 0:16:58for Americans under 50.
0:16:59 > 0:17:05Miriam's leaving Indiana and heading 250 miles east into Ohio,
0:17:05 > 0:17:08one of the leading states for overdose deaths in the country.
0:17:08 > 0:17:12I'm heading for a little town called Hamilton,
0:17:12 > 0:17:16and I think I'm going to meet a sheriff,
0:17:16 > 0:17:19- a sort of... - AMERICAN ACCENT:- ..tough guy.
0:17:19 > 0:17:21Miriam has an appointment with one of America's
0:17:21 > 0:17:24leading anti-drug sheriffs.
0:17:24 > 0:17:26What better person to have
0:17:26 > 0:17:28as our next president of the United States
0:17:28 > 0:17:32- than Donald Trump? - CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:17:32 > 0:17:35He actually likes law enforcement!
0:17:35 > 0:17:37Let me hear you!
0:17:37 > 0:17:40- Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump! - CROWD CHANTS ALONG
0:17:40 > 0:17:42Get it going!
0:17:42 > 0:17:44During the last presidential campaign,
0:17:44 > 0:17:47Sheriff Richard Jones served as Trump's warm-up man.
0:17:50 > 0:17:53Sheriffs are voted for by the people.
0:17:53 > 0:17:5712 years ago, prison officer Major Richard Jones
0:17:57 > 0:18:01stood for election on the basis of his tough stance on law and order
0:18:01 > 0:18:04and his traditional American values.
0:18:04 > 0:18:07He's been the sheriff of Butler County ever since.
0:18:07 > 0:18:12Hi. Good morning. I've got an appointment to see Sheriff Jones.
0:18:15 > 0:18:18- Thank you.- Come on in. The boss is waiting on you.- Thank you so much.
0:18:18 > 0:18:22- I've been hearing a lot about you. How are you doing? Glad to meet you. - Thank you very much for seeing us.
0:18:22 > 0:18:26You cannot work in law enforcement in America without a moustache,
0:18:26 > 0:18:27and that includes the women.
0:18:27 > 0:18:31SHE CHUCKLES
0:18:31 > 0:18:33This is one of my favourite pictures here.
0:18:33 > 0:18:35This is the president of the United States.
0:18:35 > 0:18:38I got a meeting, shake his hand, and I'm very proud of him.
0:18:38 > 0:18:40He supports the police. He supports the military.
0:18:40 > 0:18:44I like that. He stands for getting immigration fixed.
0:18:44 > 0:18:48I like that. He stands for building the wall. I like that.
0:18:48 > 0:18:51- Between America and Mexico? - Yeah, we already have... - Is that what you mean?
0:18:51 > 0:18:54Yes. We already have some walls there already.
0:18:54 > 0:18:55Why do you like that?
0:18:55 > 0:18:57Because we've got to keep these people
0:18:57 > 0:18:59that are coming across in certain areas
0:18:59 > 0:19:01from coming into our country illegally,
0:19:01 > 0:19:04and shipping their drugs in here. That's one of the reasons
0:19:04 > 0:19:07he got elected - cos most Americans like the wall.
0:19:07 > 0:19:10My wife, she got to meet him, too. I said, "What do you think of him?"
0:19:10 > 0:19:13She said, "He had little feet, but I'm impressed with him.
0:19:13 > 0:19:18- "I like him."- Well, I think the feet are the least of the problem.
0:19:18 > 0:19:22The sheriff is the highest-ranking law-enforcement official
0:19:22 > 0:19:26in the entire county. I have over 1,000 prisoners in my jail.
0:19:26 > 0:19:28- Right.- I have murderers, rapists.
0:19:28 > 0:19:32I have thieves. I have people that are drunk-driving.
0:19:32 > 0:19:34I have a little bit of everything.
0:19:34 > 0:19:37I've had three babies born in my jail in 18 months.
0:19:37 > 0:19:41They're all born addicted and they're born to mostly heroin moms.
0:19:41 > 0:19:43That's shocking, isn't it?
0:19:43 > 0:19:46And if I have three babies born here in 18 months,
0:19:46 > 0:19:49in this jail, what do you think it is in the entire country?
0:19:49 > 0:19:52Anybody that tells you we're winning this war on drugs,
0:19:52 > 0:19:55they're telling you a lie. We're losing.
0:19:55 > 0:19:57And I love my country.
0:19:57 > 0:20:00Still, I believe, one of the best countries in the world to live.
0:20:00 > 0:20:03You may disagree with me on that. But it's messed up.
0:20:05 > 0:20:08What kind of a town is Hamilton?
0:20:08 > 0:20:11It used to be a community that was all factories.
0:20:11 > 0:20:13And then, when the economy changed,
0:20:13 > 0:20:15all the factories moved out,
0:20:15 > 0:20:18all the jobs all left and went overseas.
0:20:18 > 0:20:21Now, this is a pretty tough neighbourhood now.
0:20:21 > 0:20:23Tell me about the people. What are they like?
0:20:23 > 0:20:26They're basically like anywhere else in Middle America.
0:20:26 > 0:20:28What does Middle America mean?
0:20:28 > 0:20:30Middle America means you love your mother,
0:20:30 > 0:20:33you like apple pie, you love your country.
0:20:33 > 0:20:36- Those are American values? - Those are American values.
0:20:36 > 0:20:38And what people want in Middle America,
0:20:38 > 0:20:40they want their kids to go to good schools,
0:20:40 > 0:20:43they want to feel safe. It's like a fairy tale.
0:20:43 > 0:20:47But if it's only a fairy tale, then it's not real.
0:20:47 > 0:20:49- Oh...- But you believe in this. - Oh, I believe...
0:20:49 > 0:20:51- This is real to you. - Yes, it's real to me.
0:20:51 > 0:20:54Are these values, that you hold so dear,
0:20:54 > 0:20:57- are they under threat now, do you think?- Yes.
0:20:57 > 0:21:00Used to the nuclear family - one spouse went to work,
0:21:00 > 0:21:03one stayed home and taught your kids the morals and raised your children.
0:21:03 > 0:21:06So, you want things to go back to what they were?
0:21:06 > 0:21:09It'd be nice, but it's not going to happen.
0:21:09 > 0:21:11- I don't think it's going to happen. - No, it's not going to happen.
0:21:11 > 0:21:15- We'll go to the right now. - But did you feel safe then?- Yes.
0:21:15 > 0:21:17When you feel safe when you're a kid,
0:21:17 > 0:21:21and you have nurturing parents, you do feel safe.
0:21:21 > 0:21:25- So, you think family values... - Oh, we've lost...- ..have collapsed?
0:21:25 > 0:21:27Have collapsed in America.
0:21:27 > 0:21:31America locks up more people than any other country in the world -
0:21:31 > 0:21:34almost 2.5 million and rising.
0:21:34 > 0:21:36During his reign, Sheriff Jones has overseen
0:21:36 > 0:21:39a trebling of his jail's population.
0:21:39 > 0:21:42Nearly three-quarters are in for drug-related offences.
0:21:42 > 0:21:44He's agreed to take Miriam inside.
0:21:44 > 0:21:46When we go to the first set of doors,
0:21:46 > 0:21:49everybody has to get inside that sallyport.
0:21:49 > 0:21:52- Then I have to take my gun off... - Yeah, before we can go through the next door.
0:21:52 > 0:21:56..and put it in a locked box cos we don't allow the guns back inside.
0:21:56 > 0:21:59We're all being watched by cameras.
0:21:59 > 0:22:01So, this is our control room here.
0:22:02 > 0:22:05Nobody can get in or out without that officer right there
0:22:05 > 0:22:07hitting the button and letting you go in and out.
0:22:07 > 0:22:09He controls everything from here.
0:22:09 > 0:22:11Now, when we go inside, Miriam,
0:22:11 > 0:22:13we're going to step out into the middle.
0:22:13 > 0:22:16It's built like a submarine so it doesn't flood out,
0:22:16 > 0:22:20so we can lock the doors off, and they'll shut one at a time.
0:22:20 > 0:22:22- What is that area there? - That's the common area,
0:22:22 > 0:22:25where they come and they eat their meals, where they can watch TV.
0:22:25 > 0:22:28TVs are the biggest baby-sitter in the country.
0:22:28 > 0:22:30Keeps them from fighting, makes them happy and...
0:22:30 > 0:22:32- Stops them thinking?- Yes.- Yeah.
0:22:33 > 0:22:35Prisoners' uniforms are colour-coded,
0:22:35 > 0:22:39so guards are quickly aware of an inmate's potential threat.
0:22:39 > 0:22:42Red is reserved for violent criminals.
0:22:42 > 0:22:44Green stripes are worn by the most low-risk.
0:22:44 > 0:22:46- How you doing, ladies? - BOTH:- Good. How are you?
0:22:46 > 0:22:50- Are you guys doing OK today? - Wonderful.- Come on up, Miriam.
0:22:50 > 0:22:53- Hi. Good morning.- You guys know who she is?- You do look really familiar.
0:22:53 > 0:22:56- I do?- BOTH:- Yes.- Harry Potter movie.
0:22:56 > 0:22:59- She's the professor in Harry Potter. - I'm an actress. I play...
0:22:59 > 0:23:01- Nuh-uh!- ..Professor Sprout. - Did you ever watch Harry Potter?
0:23:01 > 0:23:03- BOTH:- Yeah! - ALL LAUGH
0:23:03 > 0:23:07- I'm 76.- Oh, my God! - How old are you?- I'm 30.
0:23:07 > 0:23:10- May I ask you how old you are? - I'm 27.
0:23:10 > 0:23:13- And is this the first time you've been in prison?- No.
0:23:13 > 0:23:16- Well, that's bad!- I didn't know we were getting yelled at.
0:23:16 > 0:23:21- LAUGHTER - Not yelled, but it just upsets me.
0:23:21 > 0:23:23It upsets me, too.
0:23:23 > 0:23:25This is the 17th time I've been here.
0:23:25 > 0:23:30- 17th? That must be drugs.- Yes.
0:23:30 > 0:23:34What's it like in the prison? Is it hell, or are you managing?
0:23:34 > 0:23:36- You can't ask me. I've been here a million times. - It's not amazing, but...
0:23:36 > 0:23:39I'm institutionalised, for sure, so...
0:23:39 > 0:23:42I've been locked up pretty much my whole adult life,
0:23:42 > 0:23:45- off and on.- That is so awful. - SHERIFF:- Do you guys have kids?
0:23:45 > 0:23:47- I got one.- Six.
0:23:47 > 0:23:49- SHERIFF:- Who's watching them right now?- Six?!
0:23:49 > 0:23:50My family.
0:23:50 > 0:23:53- SHERIFF:- Your family? Your parents? - Are you Catholic? - My parents aren't...- No!
0:23:53 > 0:23:55No. Why would I be Catholic if I had six kids?
0:23:55 > 0:23:59- Well, Catholics have lots of children, don't they? - Oh, no. It's Protestant.
0:23:59 > 0:24:04Forgive me if I seem, you know, cursory about it.
0:24:04 > 0:24:05I actually do care.
0:24:05 > 0:24:10You're young. You have your lives to lead.
0:24:10 > 0:24:13She's going to make me cry. You've got to talk to her now.
0:24:13 > 0:24:16- I can't. - SHE LAUGHS
0:24:16 > 0:24:19Boss, we're going to need some tissues.
0:24:23 > 0:24:26- That was so...- SHERIFF:- That lady, it's probably the first time...
0:24:26 > 0:24:29- ..emotional for me.- ..she's probably cried in her whole life.
0:24:29 > 0:24:33- Don't you hurt inside when you see that?- I can't hurt.
0:24:33 > 0:24:35I would not sleep at night.
0:24:35 > 0:24:42I'm so moved and angered by listening to her.
0:24:42 > 0:24:47And I feel that this is part of what's wrong with America,
0:24:47 > 0:24:50that people - decent people like that -
0:24:50 > 0:24:53are just trapped in their own addiction.
0:24:53 > 0:24:56Well, they are trapped, and we've got no cures.
0:24:56 > 0:24:58I didn't know I was going to be so upset.
0:24:58 > 0:25:03He has a sense of a society in crisis,
0:25:03 > 0:25:09and he does seem to see very much an us-and-them division.
0:25:09 > 0:25:13He wants to keep those people - them -
0:25:13 > 0:25:17away from the good people - his people.
0:25:22 > 0:25:24- Morning.- Good morning.
0:25:24 > 0:25:27The following morning, Miriam is heading back
0:25:27 > 0:25:29to the women's half of the jail.
0:25:29 > 0:25:33The sheriff is allowing her to work with the inmates.
0:25:33 > 0:25:35- Thank you very much. - You're very welcome.- Bye-bye.
0:25:35 > 0:25:38Around one in 20 Americans will spend time in prison
0:25:38 > 0:25:40during their lifetime.
0:25:41 > 0:25:42Miriam wants to know if the people
0:25:42 > 0:25:45who've seemingly betrayed the nation's values
0:25:45 > 0:25:48can ever be considered good US citizens again.
0:25:48 > 0:25:50Hi.
0:25:54 > 0:25:56- Boy, that smells good.- Yeah.
0:25:58 > 0:26:01With prisoners woken at 5am, lunch is served at 11.
0:26:03 > 0:26:08My grandfather was a poverty-stricken peddler,
0:26:08 > 0:26:11an immigrant from Poland...
0:26:11 > 0:26:13- Do you know what the menu is today? - No, we don't.
0:26:13 > 0:26:15- We never know.- You never know?
0:26:15 > 0:26:17..and he committed fraud...
0:26:17 > 0:26:18Enjoy your meal.
0:26:18 > 0:26:25..and he was sent to prison for seven years' hard labour in 1877.
0:26:25 > 0:26:28Thank you so much. I'm such a fan.
0:26:28 > 0:26:32I've always felt very sympathetic towards criminals,
0:26:32 > 0:26:36perhaps because of my great-grandfather. I don't know.
0:26:36 > 0:26:37- Thank you, Miriam.- Thank you.
0:26:37 > 0:26:42But I've always felt that if I just teetered off my morality,
0:26:42 > 0:26:45I could easily fall into the pit of hell.
0:26:45 > 0:26:48- What's your name? - My name's Courtney.
0:26:48 > 0:26:49- Courtney?- Yes.
0:26:49 > 0:26:56- You're in an orange jumper.- Yes. - Does that mean that you're scary?
0:26:56 > 0:26:59I think so, but I'm not scary.
0:26:59 > 0:27:03It's because I had a violent charge before in the past.
0:27:03 > 0:27:05It was a gun charge.
0:27:05 > 0:27:09I'm in here now on drug charges.
0:27:09 > 0:27:12But we live in a really small town.
0:27:12 > 0:27:15We live in the country, in the middle of the woods,
0:27:15 > 0:27:18and everybody there's on drugs.
0:27:18 > 0:27:20What is your sentence? How long are you going to be here for?
0:27:20 > 0:27:25I don't know how long. Right now, I'm facing 20 years.
0:27:25 > 0:27:30- That's an incredibly long sentence. - Yes, it is.
0:27:30 > 0:27:34Goodness! Are you married? Do you have children?
0:27:34 > 0:27:36I have children. I'm not married.
0:27:37 > 0:27:39Do you have a dream?
0:27:40 > 0:27:43I want to get out and be with my daughter,
0:27:43 > 0:27:46and I want to own my own tree business.
0:27:46 > 0:27:48- You're a tree surgeon?- Yes.
0:27:50 > 0:27:54Thank you. Have you got brothers and sisters that are in trouble?
0:27:54 > 0:27:56My whole family is in this jail.
0:27:56 > 0:27:59- Well, you've got to stay away from them.- Yeah.
0:27:59 > 0:28:03- She really does.- There's 16 of us right now in this jail.
0:28:03 > 0:28:06- My family is really bad people. - You must forget about them.
0:28:06 > 0:28:11- Yeah.- Fuck 'em! - Yeah, definitely fuck them.
0:28:11 > 0:28:13They got me in a world of trouble.
0:28:13 > 0:28:17Do you think that American values would help you at all?
0:28:17 > 0:28:19- I mean, family, obviously not...- Yeah.
0:28:19 > 0:28:23- ..because one of the values in America is family, isn't it? - If you have a good family...
0:28:23 > 0:28:27Yeah, people that had, like, a really bad childhood...
0:28:27 > 0:28:32I was molested and raped my whole life.
0:28:32 > 0:28:36So, I think drugs was how I coped with life.
0:28:37 > 0:28:43Drugs, I think, damaged America incomparably,
0:28:43 > 0:28:50and it is extremely painful to see its effects.
0:28:50 > 0:28:54Hello. I'm today's porter.
0:28:54 > 0:28:56To keep control, only half the prisoners
0:28:56 > 0:28:58are allowed out at any one time.
0:29:00 > 0:29:04- There are two cups of water here. - It means, every day,
0:29:04 > 0:29:07- half the prisoners have to eat in their cells.- Thank you.
0:29:09 > 0:29:12Prisoners can spend money they've been sent from the outside
0:29:12 > 0:29:15on a limited number of luxury treats.
0:29:15 > 0:29:19- What lunch?- During lunchtime, these are often shared communally.
0:29:19 > 0:29:21We're making what's called a break.
0:29:21 > 0:29:24- Yeah.- And these are the ingredients.
0:29:24 > 0:29:29So, you have to smash everything up. Then, you dump it all in together.
0:29:29 > 0:29:32I'm not sure these things are all good for you.
0:29:32 > 0:29:34- What's this?- That's chicken. Chicken breast.
0:29:34 > 0:29:36Sometimes, you put a variation on the ingredients
0:29:36 > 0:29:38just to have it a little different sometimes.
0:29:38 > 0:29:40The basis of it is the soups.
0:29:40 > 0:29:42And then you put that 180-degree water in it -
0:29:42 > 0:29:46boiling water - and you cook it, so everything melts together.
0:29:46 > 0:29:49- It's very strange.- It is. - Yeah, I thought that, too.
0:29:49 > 0:29:52- It's actually really, really good. - But it's really good.
0:29:52 > 0:29:56- Better than them trays. - Yeah, the trays were not that great.
0:29:56 > 0:29:59Yeah. So, we put the hot water in.
0:29:59 > 0:30:02I hate to think of the calorific value of this.
0:30:02 > 0:30:06You don't want to think about that in here. This is your comfort food.
0:30:06 > 0:30:08I guess it is.
0:30:08 > 0:30:12- You know what?- I don't want to be insulting, you know...
0:30:12 > 0:30:15- I'm going to tell you...- ..but I don't feel appetised by this.
0:30:15 > 0:30:18Listen, I felt exactly like that the very first time.
0:30:18 > 0:30:22You will be pleasantly surprised. That's the finished product.
0:30:27 > 0:30:29- Thank you, ma'am. - You're very welcome.
0:30:33 > 0:30:35It's not bad.
0:30:36 > 0:30:39See? Something that looks like that actually tastes really good,
0:30:39 > 0:30:42- doesn't it?- We say it's slappin'.
0:30:42 > 0:30:44- AMERICAN ACCENT:- It's slappin'! - LAUGHTER
0:30:44 > 0:30:46There you go. There you go.
0:30:46 > 0:30:48- Hi, guys.- Hello.
0:30:48 > 0:30:51Well, I've always thought about myself
0:30:51 > 0:30:55that I will be fine in an old people's home
0:30:55 > 0:31:00because there'll be people there, and I will make friends with them.
0:31:00 > 0:31:03I would be the worst person to share a cell with.
0:31:03 > 0:31:06- Why?- Because I fart.- We all fart!
0:31:06 > 0:31:09And I think a jail is much the same.
0:31:09 > 0:31:12We love you so much, and we just watched all your movies.
0:31:12 > 0:31:16I will be fine there, as long as I have friends.
0:31:16 > 0:31:19Come on, Homeland Security. We need to go like this. OK.
0:31:19 > 0:31:21LAUGHTER
0:31:21 > 0:31:24# We love the trays Got to get them trays made
0:31:24 > 0:31:28Got to get them trays made Got to get them trays made
0:31:28 > 0:31:32# I said her name is Miriam She's on the mic
0:31:32 > 0:31:35# She's up in Butler County Jail in the daylight... #
0:31:35 > 0:31:38There is, without doubt, a parallel
0:31:38 > 0:31:42between the society of a summer camp and the society of a jail.
0:31:42 > 0:31:48What they are actually both doing is recreating another family.
0:31:48 > 0:31:51CHEERING
0:31:53 > 0:31:58SPEECH DROWNED OUT BY CHEERING
0:31:58 > 0:32:02You were brilliant. That's brilliant.
0:32:02 > 0:32:06Bye-bye. Bye-bye. Thank you very much.
0:32:06 > 0:32:10Most inmates will spend the rest of the day locked back in their cells.
0:32:10 > 0:32:14But good behaviour can earn some, like Kara and April,
0:32:14 > 0:32:17the right to stay out working.
0:32:17 > 0:32:20They're in here, working themselves to death.
0:32:20 > 0:32:23Hi, guys. You ready for me?
0:32:23 > 0:32:27- For sure.- OK. So, what gives? - "What gives!"
0:32:27 > 0:32:29We've got to go in here and wipe everything down.
0:32:29 > 0:32:32- This is a cell?- Yeah.
0:32:32 > 0:32:36- I'm not even sure... Does this come off?- Yeah, spray.
0:32:36 > 0:32:39- Oh, other way.- Oh, other way. Other way.- Towards the table.
0:32:39 > 0:32:46- Isn't that a sign of what an absolute twot I am?- There you go!
0:32:46 > 0:32:49- Do you two always work together? - BOTH:- Yes.
0:32:49 > 0:32:53- So, you're kind of buddies and...? - Besties.- Besties.
0:32:53 > 0:32:56- Besties?- We live in the same cell.
0:32:56 > 0:32:59- Oh, you're bunkies?- Yeah. - We're bunkies and we work together.
0:32:59 > 0:33:00I heard about that.
0:33:00 > 0:33:04- AMERICAN ACCENT:- Straight at the gate and gay for the stay?
0:33:04 > 0:33:06- Gay for the stay!- For sure, yes.
0:33:06 > 0:33:09- Is that right?- Holy shit!- Yes. Yes.
0:33:09 > 0:33:11So, some people are not lesbians,
0:33:11 > 0:33:14but they become lesbians just while they're in prison?
0:33:14 > 0:33:19- All they want is commissary, or some attention, or...- Both.
0:33:19 > 0:33:24- Do you know when your exit date is? - I'm out in 13 days.
0:33:24 > 0:33:26Do you feel that society has written you off?
0:33:26 > 0:33:27Yes, most definitely.
0:33:27 > 0:33:33People look at us and they don't see any kind of future.
0:33:33 > 0:33:37- What can be done to give you more inner strength?- Give us a chance.
0:33:37 > 0:33:39Quit tearing us down when we're trying our hardest.
0:33:39 > 0:33:41Just because we're heroin addicts, we're still daughters,
0:33:41 > 0:33:46- we're still mothers, we're still human beings. - Those girls will never leave me.
0:33:46 > 0:33:49Those... That conversation.
0:33:49 > 0:33:51I want, more than anything...
0:33:51 > 0:33:53Ask her. She makes fun of me for it.
0:33:53 > 0:33:55- But I just...- We're in love with the idea of being in love.
0:33:55 > 0:34:00- Of real love. But the thing is... - With each other, do you mean?
0:34:00 > 0:34:02- BOTH:- No!- No. No.
0:34:02 > 0:34:04With a guy. You know, these days,
0:34:04 > 0:34:07- it's hard to find.- You want a proper, stable relationship?
0:34:07 > 0:34:08- Right.- So bad!
0:34:08 > 0:34:11I would probably lay my life down
0:34:11 > 0:34:13if I could just have a man look at me like, "You are worth it,
0:34:13 > 0:34:16- "and I want to show you that you're worth it."- Right.
0:34:16 > 0:34:19Because every man in my whole life has shown me nothing but
0:34:19 > 0:34:22that you're not worth it, you're worth nothing.
0:34:22 > 0:34:27I've never had to come face-to-face
0:34:27 > 0:34:34with the agony, the misery, the hopelessness of their position.
0:34:34 > 0:34:36Cos I've had my life. I'm old now.
0:34:36 > 0:34:38The light is not at the end of the tunnel for me.
0:34:38 > 0:34:40It's just the tunnel.
0:34:40 > 0:34:44But it doesn't have to be the tunnel for you.
0:34:44 > 0:34:47There is light.
0:34:47 > 0:34:50I'm not going to say it's Jesus, cos I don't believe in Jesus,
0:34:50 > 0:34:52but I can believe in you.
0:34:55 > 0:34:57- Can I hug you?- Yes.
0:34:57 > 0:34:58Come.
0:35:01 > 0:35:04Remember, what I said, it was said with love.
0:35:04 > 0:35:08You made me feel good about myself, and I don't do that much.
0:35:08 > 0:35:11Well, good! Good.
0:35:11 > 0:35:15You know what? You've made me feel good about myself.
0:35:15 > 0:35:20- Aw!- So, that's very important.- Yeah.
0:35:20 > 0:35:22Oh, that's the main one.
0:35:22 > 0:35:27We had a real communication, and that is extraordinary.
0:35:27 > 0:35:30I was deeply moved by it.
0:35:30 > 0:35:32Now we're going to go down to the booking area.
0:35:32 > 0:35:34A young lady has just been released from jail.
0:35:34 > 0:35:37- Leslie, this is Miriam. - Hi.- Hi. How are you?
0:35:37 > 0:35:40- I'm good. How are you? - I believe you're on your way out.
0:35:40 > 0:35:43- Yes, I am.- That's great. - I know. Thank you.
0:35:43 > 0:35:47Prison should be a place that people only go to once.
0:35:47 > 0:35:50- How old are you?- I'm 20 years old. I'll be 21 September 17th.
0:35:50 > 0:35:53- Oh, darling, you're a child. You're a baby.- Mm-hm.
0:35:53 > 0:35:55If people keep coming back,
0:35:55 > 0:35:58something is wrong, something isn't working.
0:35:58 > 0:36:02- How many times have you been in prison?- This is my second time.
0:36:02 > 0:36:05- Well, twice is enough, isn't it?- Yes, ma'am.
0:36:05 > 0:36:09And it's painfully clear in America that that is the case.
0:36:09 > 0:36:12They keep coming back.
0:36:12 > 0:36:15Despite the US government spending around 80 billion
0:36:15 > 0:36:17on jails every year,
0:36:17 > 0:36:19over three-quarters of inmates reoffend
0:36:19 > 0:36:21within five years of release.
0:36:21 > 0:36:24If you come back here, I will be so pissed off,
0:36:24 > 0:36:28because I'm the one that walked you out.
0:36:28 > 0:36:30- Well...- So, I don't want you to come back.- I know.
0:36:30 > 0:36:34And, you know, honestly, this time, I just have a feeling inside
0:36:34 > 0:36:36that I'm going to do right, because I want to.
0:36:36 > 0:36:38And I know a lot of people say that. I messed up once before.
0:36:38 > 0:36:43- This time, I'm going to do good, and I know I am.- Try. Really try.- I'm going to.
0:36:43 > 0:36:45You push the door, and I'm coming right out with you.
0:36:45 > 0:36:50- Oh, it's not open.- Miriam, would you like to give her these?- I will. - That's her personal property.
0:36:50 > 0:36:53- When it clicks, you push, OK?- OK.
0:36:53 > 0:36:57- That's my family right there. - Hey! She's out!
0:36:57 > 0:36:58I'm not a mother...
0:36:58 > 0:37:00Isn't that wonderful?
0:37:00 > 0:37:04..but it doesn't mean that I don't care about people.
0:37:04 > 0:37:06- You'll make it.- Thank you.
0:37:06 > 0:37:08- Don't come back.- I won't.
0:37:08 > 0:37:10- Don't let her. - I won't. She's strong.
0:37:10 > 0:37:14- Don't let her come back. - OK.- OK? Bye-bye.
0:37:14 > 0:37:17And when I saw that girl being released...
0:37:19 > 0:37:24..I cried. I couldn't help it, because I wanted, with all my heart,
0:37:24 > 0:37:28- that she wouldn't come back. - We see them leave every day,
0:37:28 > 0:37:31- and all we can do is pray that they don't come back.- Yeah.
0:37:32 > 0:37:35Oh, I hope she makes it.
0:37:35 > 0:37:37Don't come back!
0:37:38 > 0:37:41And I don't know what happened.
0:37:41 > 0:37:45- We'll get you a tissue. - No, it's OK. I've got one.
0:37:45 > 0:37:48- AMERICAN ACCENT:- On this job, I carry 'em with me.
0:37:48 > 0:37:52- I tell you, not the first time. - She's got some. She's got some.
0:37:57 > 0:37:58Before she continues south,
0:37:58 > 0:38:02Miriam's dropping in to see the sheriff and his family.
0:38:03 > 0:38:07- Hi!- Just ignore the dog. - I love dogs.- Oh, good.
0:38:07 > 0:38:10- But I'm not going to ignore you. - It's very pleasant to meet you.
0:38:10 > 0:38:13- Please have some flowers. - Oh, they're beautiful.
0:38:13 > 0:38:16They do smell nice, as well. And so do I.
0:38:16 > 0:38:19OK! Pleasure to meet you. I'm Vicky.
0:38:19 > 0:38:22- This is my daughter, Amanda. - Oh, hi!- I'm Amanda.
0:38:22 > 0:38:24- I'm so pleased to meet you. Hello. - Pleased to meet you.
0:38:24 > 0:38:27- Now, her husband's a police officer, also.- Yes.
0:38:27 > 0:38:30- Oh, darling, you've gone to such trouble.- VICKY:- I wanted to.
0:38:30 > 0:38:34You're a home queen, aren't you?
0:38:34 > 0:38:36I'd like to think of it as a domestic goddess.
0:38:36 > 0:38:38That's it! That's what I meant.
0:38:38 > 0:38:40I'm not. I'm hopeless.
0:38:40 > 0:38:42Heavenly Father, we come to you today so thankful
0:38:42 > 0:38:45and so grateful for all the people that are in our home today.
0:38:45 > 0:38:48And, God, we are so thankful to you for our blessings. Amen.
0:38:48 > 0:38:49- OTHERS:- Amen.
0:38:49 > 0:38:51I want to hear a bit about you.
0:38:51 > 0:38:55- What would you like to know? - Everything!
0:38:55 > 0:39:00Well, I'm from here, in Ohio. He and I met in high school.
0:39:00 > 0:39:03My first job, I was a teacher's aide,
0:39:03 > 0:39:05but when I started to have kids,
0:39:05 > 0:39:08I quit my job to stay home and raise them.
0:39:08 > 0:39:11To me, there's nothing better,
0:39:11 > 0:39:14if you're having something going on and you're sad or whatever,
0:39:14 > 0:39:16for your mom to cook you something.
0:39:16 > 0:39:20- You know, something of your favourite.- That's sort of American values, isn't it?
0:39:20 > 0:39:22Family and apple pie?
0:39:22 > 0:39:27Oh, yeah. I make a real good apple pie, too!
0:39:27 > 0:39:31So, what do you think of the big guy down there at the end of the table?
0:39:31 > 0:39:35Well, I know that he is a good man.
0:39:35 > 0:39:40I'm just not totally convinced that shutting people up
0:39:40 > 0:39:42who have committed offences
0:39:42 > 0:39:45that come because they are drug addicts...
0:39:45 > 0:39:48I don't think it's a good idea.
0:39:48 > 0:39:51But what would you do?
0:39:51 > 0:39:55That's the problem. I don't know.
0:39:55 > 0:39:58- But it is a disease. - I disagree with that.
0:39:58 > 0:40:03Then you are wrong, ma'am, because it is a disease.
0:40:03 > 0:40:07- If you can't...- It is something that takes over your body like cancer,
0:40:07 > 0:40:10- and it's terrifying. - Well, let's say that
0:40:10 > 0:40:12you're right and it is a disease.
0:40:12 > 0:40:17They still make that choice to go do drugs, but...
0:40:17 > 0:40:19The first one, you're right.
0:40:19 > 0:40:22- The first time, it is a choice. - You are choosing it.
0:40:22 > 0:40:25- You are playing Russian roulette with your life.- With your life.
0:40:25 > 0:40:28- And that's what I don't understand. - We are educated enough
0:40:28 > 0:40:31in this country to know that.
0:40:32 > 0:40:35- Well...- There is no excuse to go out and say,
0:40:35 > 0:40:38"I think I want to try heroin. I've never done it."
0:40:38 > 0:40:40But what happens is, they'll go to jail,
0:40:40 > 0:40:42and then they're going right back to where
0:40:42 > 0:40:45they got the drugs to start with cos they don't have anywhere else to go.
0:40:45 > 0:40:49- There's no family.- So, is there any sense in putting them in jail in the first place?- Yes.
0:40:49 > 0:40:52- I don't want them coming to my house and stealing my stuff.- No, and I...
0:40:52 > 0:40:55- Period. I work too hard for my stuff.- I'd rather they be locked up in jail.
0:40:55 > 0:40:58I don't want them driving down the street with my daughter...
0:40:58 > 0:41:00But isn't there some other kind of...?
0:41:00 > 0:41:02Well, you could shoot 'em,
0:41:02 > 0:41:05- but that's not socially acceptable, either.- Oh, no, I don't mean that.
0:41:05 > 0:41:10I just feel that America is failing the people who are failing America,
0:41:10 > 0:41:14and I don't know who you blame first.
0:41:14 > 0:41:17- I don't know that...- And America's a place where you like to blame.
0:41:17 > 0:41:20- We enjoyed your company. You were very interesting. - Thank you very much.
0:41:20 > 0:41:23- It was lovely.- And I really mean it. Bye-bye.- Bye-bye, darling. Yeah.
0:41:23 > 0:41:25America is not a forgiving society.
0:41:25 > 0:41:30If you transgress the rules of the game, the walls close in.
0:41:30 > 0:41:32The door is locked.
0:41:32 > 0:41:35First of all, it's the negation of Christianity.
0:41:35 > 0:41:38A lot of the people I met were very strong-believing Christians,
0:41:38 > 0:41:41but not inclusive.
0:41:41 > 0:41:42Very excluding.
0:41:42 > 0:41:46And as somebody myself...
0:41:46 > 0:41:49A fat old Jew, you know?
0:41:49 > 0:41:55..I know what it is to be excluded, and it's...it's wrong.
0:41:57 > 0:41:59In recent months, President Trump
0:41:59 > 0:42:02hasn't exactly been preaching forgiveness.
0:42:02 > 0:42:03- REPORTER:- For months now,
0:42:03 > 0:42:05the leaders of North Korea and the United States
0:42:05 > 0:42:08have been goading each other in a war of words
0:42:08 > 0:42:11over the unthinkable - the possibility of a nuclear war.
0:42:11 > 0:42:17North Korea best not make any more threats to the United States.
0:42:17 > 0:42:24They will be met with fire and fury like the world has never seen.
0:42:24 > 0:42:28Miriam's heading into the Smoky Mountains of Tennessee.
0:42:28 > 0:42:32Here, hundreds of Americans have become so worried about the future,
0:42:32 > 0:42:35they're readying themselves for disaster.
0:42:35 > 0:42:38They're called preppers.
0:42:39 > 0:42:45I think they could be anxious about the possibility of world war,
0:42:45 > 0:42:48and atomic war, or something like that,
0:42:48 > 0:42:52given that North Korea is obviously off its chops.
0:42:52 > 0:42:54I think they're probably worried
0:42:54 > 0:42:57about the sudden collapse of the economy,
0:42:57 > 0:43:01looting and rioting as a result.
0:43:01 > 0:43:05Maybe Trump has exacerbated fears a little.
0:43:05 > 0:43:08Well, they'd probably feel resentful
0:43:08 > 0:43:11if people would regard them as nutters
0:43:11 > 0:43:15because the very act of preparation means that you're thinking ahead.
0:43:15 > 0:43:17As my mother would say, "Forward planning is all."
0:43:19 > 0:43:23On the outskirts of a small town called Cosby,
0:43:23 > 0:43:26Carey and Sonya will provide you with everything you need
0:43:26 > 0:43:30to survive in the mountains for the next 25 years.
0:43:30 > 0:43:34- Howdy.- Hello. - Come right this way, ma'am.
0:43:34 > 0:43:37- Hello.- Hey. Good morning. - Good morning.
0:43:37 > 0:43:39Welcome to Tennessee Readiness.
0:43:39 > 0:43:42- Do you want to look around? - I'd love to.
0:43:42 > 0:43:44Probably our most popular things are our knives.
0:43:44 > 0:43:48- So, what would knives be for? - Um, protection,
0:43:48 > 0:43:51for hunting, or just anything general.
0:43:51 > 0:43:52- My name's Carey.- Miriam.
0:43:52 > 0:43:55- Nice to meet you, ma'am. - Call me Miriam.
0:43:55 > 0:43:59- Yes, ma'am.- Ma'am is too scary. - Really?- Yeah!
0:43:59 > 0:44:02- LAUGHTER - Well, welcome to the South.
0:44:02 > 0:44:05- Thank you. - Our knives are for bush crafting.
0:44:05 > 0:44:08So, we feel like any knife that you take out into the woods,
0:44:08 > 0:44:10you should be able to cut down a tree,
0:44:10 > 0:44:12you should be able to skin a rabbit.
0:44:12 > 0:44:14- Skin a rabbit?- With one knife.
0:44:14 > 0:44:17- And where would you carry that? - It snaps right on your belt.
0:44:17 > 0:44:21- Even on your pocket.- It's kind of like the old-fashioned sword,
0:44:21 > 0:44:24- isn't it?- Yes, ma'am. - The long one that we have, yeah.
0:44:24 > 0:44:27- Not...- You've got a sword, do you?- No, I don't.
0:44:27 > 0:44:30- THEY LAUGH - I'll tell you the truth, I don't.
0:44:30 > 0:44:35- PRODUCER:- How practical are you? - I am utterly impractical.
0:44:35 > 0:44:38I cannot change a plug, sharpen a pencil.
0:44:38 > 0:44:41There's nothing I can do.
0:44:41 > 0:44:45- What is that?- If I want to go out into the woods and hide,
0:44:45 > 0:44:47- it will cover me.- Oh, yes.
0:44:47 > 0:44:50How long would you survive out in the woods?
0:44:50 > 0:44:55I would survive until a car came by and take me into civilisation.
0:44:55 > 0:44:58This is the kind of sling that David used to kill Goliath.
0:44:58 > 0:45:00You just put your rock right in there,
0:45:00 > 0:45:04swing it around twice, and then you let the heavy side go.
0:45:04 > 0:45:07- Darling, I'd die. - SHE CHUCKLES
0:45:09 > 0:45:11That simple.
0:45:11 > 0:45:15I'm not really the hunting, shooting, fishing type.
0:45:15 > 0:45:17- You know?- It's called fun.
0:45:17 > 0:45:19Would you like to try some freeze-dried fruit, ma'am?
0:45:19 > 0:45:22- It's mangoes.- That's fine.
0:45:22 > 0:45:25- Yes, ma'am.- Thank you.
0:45:25 > 0:45:28We put it in a mylar bag like this with an oxygen absorber
0:45:28 > 0:45:31- and it'll last 25 years.- Wow.
0:45:31 > 0:45:34A prepper doesn't want to rely on anybody.
0:45:34 > 0:45:36We want you to know how to make a shelter
0:45:36 > 0:45:41if something happened to your house, if the war came, if there were...
0:45:41 > 0:45:45- If the war came? - I mean, Russia's doing their thing.
0:45:45 > 0:45:48North Korea, I mean, they're threatening us every day.
0:45:48 > 0:45:52It's just being prepared and not being afraid
0:45:52 > 0:45:55because you know you already have what you need.
0:45:55 > 0:45:59- It's in our DNA to be prepared. We've been...- You think about it.
0:45:59 > 0:46:02We've been prepared since we came here to America.
0:46:02 > 0:46:05We knew there was nobody coming to save us.
0:46:05 > 0:46:10Our forefathers fought for this land and earned it,
0:46:10 > 0:46:14and we'll do everything we can to keep it.
0:46:14 > 0:46:16We're Americans.
0:46:16 > 0:46:19Is being American being individualistic?
0:46:19 > 0:46:21- Yes.- I think so, yeah.
0:46:21 > 0:46:24- It is about the individual. - It's not about the group?
0:46:24 > 0:46:26- It's never about the collective. - No, never.
0:46:26 > 0:46:29- It's always about the individual. - And what happens to the people
0:46:29 > 0:46:32- who don't follow the way that you follow?- We can't answer for everybody else.
0:46:32 > 0:46:36Then you can go to other places and look how they are.
0:46:36 > 0:46:42Go to Chicago, go to LA, go to New Orleans, go to Memphis.
0:46:42 > 0:46:44People are fighting and killing each other every day.
0:46:44 > 0:46:49- We're not doing that out here. - You're not?- BOTH:- No!
0:46:51 > 0:46:53I didn't know anything about the preppers.
0:46:53 > 0:46:55I'd never heard of the idea.
0:46:56 > 0:46:59In one way, it's nuts.
0:46:59 > 0:47:03In another way, it might not be, because they have a president
0:47:03 > 0:47:10who can put his finger on the button that's going to explode the world.
0:47:10 > 0:47:14For over 30 years, preppers have been building a small community
0:47:14 > 0:47:16in the hills based on their perception
0:47:16 > 0:47:18of traditional American values.
0:47:20 > 0:47:23Carey and Sonya have sent Miriam to stay with Heidi.
0:47:23 > 0:47:25- Hello.- Hi, there!
0:47:25 > 0:47:30Sales rep Heidi has been preparing for the end of the world since 1987.
0:47:30 > 0:47:33- I'm Miriam.- I'm Heidi. Nice to meet you.
0:47:33 > 0:47:35Lovely to meet you.
0:47:35 > 0:47:37- Please come in.- Thank you very much.
0:47:37 > 0:47:40I have been a prepper since the '80s.
0:47:40 > 0:47:43When I heard George Bush Sr give a speech
0:47:43 > 0:47:46and use the words "new world order",
0:47:46 > 0:47:48I got up out of my chair and said, "Oh, my God."
0:47:48 > 0:47:52From that moment on, I became a prepper.
0:47:52 > 0:47:56I always had a backpack in my car prepared for who knows what.
0:47:56 > 0:47:59I don't even know. I just know I had the mentality of it.
0:47:59 > 0:48:03I have buckets of things that are buried in different places
0:48:03 > 0:48:05that are for emergencies.
0:48:05 > 0:48:08Obviously, we would put some food in here.
0:48:08 > 0:48:11This is what's called an MRE. The military...
0:48:11 > 0:48:13Meals, Ready-to-Eat.
0:48:13 > 0:48:15Now, you have other things that you can put away.
0:48:15 > 0:48:18This is not just a head net for bugs.
0:48:18 > 0:48:20I could get little fish with these.
0:48:20 > 0:48:24- I mean, there's many things you can do with that. - Let me try that on.
0:48:26 > 0:48:28SHE LAUGHS
0:48:28 > 0:48:30All right, now the bugs will stay away.
0:48:30 > 0:48:34So, if something is only used for one thing, it's taking up space.
0:48:34 > 0:48:39To me, the most important thing that you need is this right here,
0:48:39 > 0:48:40which is a water filter.
0:48:40 > 0:48:43I remember, in Katrina, there was plenty of water,
0:48:43 > 0:48:45but it was not drinkable.
0:48:45 > 0:48:48Is there anything else you can think of we might want?
0:48:48 > 0:48:52- A knife.- How smart are you? - AMERICAN ACCENT:- Pretty damn smart!
0:48:52 > 0:48:55I'm telling you are learning. You're a quick study.
0:48:55 > 0:48:59- Excellent. Well, shall I put the lid on it? - And then we just screw the lid on.
0:48:59 > 0:49:02- And you keep some of these things somewhere?- Yes.
0:49:02 > 0:49:05- And where have you put them? - Not in the house.
0:49:06 > 0:49:08- Oh.- I have them in a safe place.
0:49:08 > 0:49:10- That you alone know?- Yes.
0:49:10 > 0:49:16I wonder if, really, in their secret heart,
0:49:16 > 0:49:18they hope it's going to happen.
0:49:18 > 0:49:21They hope that the banking system is going to fail.
0:49:21 > 0:49:25We have well water. This, up here, is our well house up there.
0:49:25 > 0:49:29- Oh, I like that.- That way, we don't have to have city water,
0:49:29 > 0:49:31which is nasty.
0:49:31 > 0:49:37They're spending their lives waiting and preparing in case.
0:49:37 > 0:49:39Now, you're not going straight into the river, are you?
0:49:39 > 0:49:41Of course. I'm going straight into it.
0:49:41 > 0:49:44- SHE LAUGHS - Take a dip!
0:49:44 > 0:49:46It's like me when I go on holiday -
0:49:46 > 0:49:50I take, you know, too many pairs of knickers in case.
0:49:52 > 0:49:53Waste of time.
0:49:53 > 0:49:58It seems to me very much an individualistic thing, you know.
0:49:58 > 0:50:00You look after you, and I look after me.
0:50:00 > 0:50:04And in a lot of cases, that's true. A lot of people are lone wolves.
0:50:04 > 0:50:06And that, I don't like.
0:50:06 > 0:50:10- I believe in the power of community and togetherness.- That's great.
0:50:10 > 0:50:13So, you assume that people are full of goodness?
0:50:13 > 0:50:15Well, I know that not everybody is.
0:50:15 > 0:50:17- That, I know. - Well, when shit hits the fan,
0:50:17 > 0:50:20you're going to find out what people are really made of.
0:50:20 > 0:50:24America remains the most heavily-armed country in the world.
0:50:24 > 0:50:26The number of privately-owned firearms
0:50:26 > 0:50:28is over 400 million and rising.
0:50:28 > 0:50:32I brought out some of the weaponry that I have.
0:50:33 > 0:50:37What you want is something you can point and shoot,
0:50:37 > 0:50:41and a revolver is one of those things.
0:50:41 > 0:50:42- It's empty?- It is now.
0:50:42 > 0:50:46This is my concealed weapon, which I carry...
0:50:46 > 0:50:48As you see, a little clip can go on the side,
0:50:48 > 0:50:50if I'm in public in a crowded area.
0:50:50 > 0:50:52You couldn't get that out in a hurry, could you?
0:50:52 > 0:50:55- Because it's all in a pouch. - Oh, it comes out fast.
0:50:55 > 0:50:58And this is my baby. I love this gun.
0:50:58 > 0:51:01And it's a Ruger. It looks intimidating.
0:51:01 > 0:51:05And it's only a .22, so it's the smallest bullet of them all.
0:51:05 > 0:51:07But it could still kill you, couldn't it?
0:51:07 > 0:51:09An assassin's gun is a .22.
0:51:09 > 0:51:13It's not what bullet you use. It's the accuracy of it.
0:51:13 > 0:51:16So, if it's between your eyes, a .22 is sufficient.
0:51:16 > 0:51:19But a .22, if somebody is drugged up,
0:51:19 > 0:51:21it's not going to stop them unless you hit them in the head.
0:51:21 > 0:51:26It's macabre to be in this little, very sweet, rather feminine room
0:51:26 > 0:51:32and have three guns that kill people on your dining-room table.
0:51:32 > 0:51:35But to think of using it on a human being is awful.
0:51:35 > 0:51:39I hope, never in my life, will I ever, ever have to do that.
0:51:39 > 0:51:43- But I am prepared. - It's heavy.- It is heavy.
0:51:43 > 0:51:45If I thought someone was trying to kill me,
0:51:45 > 0:51:47I would shoot them.
0:51:47 > 0:51:53- Do you think you're capable? - I'm capable of all the bad things.
0:51:53 > 0:51:57And shooting a human being and killing them -
0:51:57 > 0:52:00I am certainly capable of doing that.
0:52:00 > 0:52:02That's why I must never have a gun.
0:52:05 > 0:52:09Now, this is a bed behind here.
0:52:09 > 0:52:13- Voila! - Doesn't that look fantastic?- Yes.
0:52:13 > 0:52:16- Thank you very much. - I hope you sleep well.
0:52:16 > 0:52:18There's no way I won't.
0:52:20 > 0:52:26This is just to prove that I do brush my hair,
0:52:26 > 0:52:31because some people don't think I do, which is very unkind.
0:52:31 > 0:52:34It's not about being glamorous, is it, Miriam?
0:52:34 > 0:52:37It has never been about being glamorous,
0:52:37 > 0:52:42- but kind of you to point that out. - SHE LAUGHS
0:52:42 > 0:52:46I did wear these socks yesterday, but that's all right.
0:52:48 > 0:52:52- Oh, toasties! This is great.- Yeah.
0:52:52 > 0:52:55Your attitude towards preparedness is,
0:52:55 > 0:52:58- "I'm prepared as far as I can be..."- Yes.
0:52:58 > 0:53:02- "..for most eventualities?"- Yes.
0:53:02 > 0:53:07It's my responsibility to take care of me, not the government's.
0:53:07 > 0:53:11And if it doesn't happen, so what? But what if it does?
0:53:13 > 0:53:17- Are you prepared? - I wouldn't last five minutes,
0:53:17 > 0:53:22and, you know, I haven't got a prepared attitude.
0:53:22 > 0:53:28I've got some money in the bank and 12 rolls of loo paper at home,
0:53:28 > 0:53:30- and that...- That's not even enough!
0:53:30 > 0:53:35..that's the extent of my preparedness.
0:53:35 > 0:53:37I have a slightly fatalistic attitude
0:53:37 > 0:53:40- that I'll just either get by or I'll die.- Yeah.
0:53:43 > 0:53:46Despite the preppers' disillusionment with the government,
0:53:46 > 0:53:49they haven't turned their back on politics completely.
0:53:49 > 0:53:52In the last election, they were staunch advocates of Trump.
0:53:52 > 0:53:56Carey from the readiness store has invited Miriam to join her
0:53:56 > 0:53:58at their community barbecue.
0:53:59 > 0:54:01Hey! How are you?
0:54:01 > 0:54:05Carey, how lovely to see you in this beautiful place.
0:54:05 > 0:54:09- Thank you, ma'am.- Oh, it's heaven!
0:54:09 > 0:54:11What's on your menu tonight?
0:54:11 > 0:54:14Hamburgers, hot dogs, and we have bear burgers.
0:54:14 > 0:54:18- I'm not eating bear. That's not...- Try it!- No.
0:54:18 > 0:54:21- Try it while you have a chance. - No, Jews don't eat bear.
0:54:23 > 0:54:26In America, we see things different than a lot of people do.
0:54:26 > 0:54:28In what way? Tell me.
0:54:28 > 0:54:30We believe that God gave us rights
0:54:30 > 0:54:33and we wrote a constitution that keeps the government
0:54:33 > 0:54:36from taking the rights that God gave us.
0:54:36 > 0:54:38And when the government takes care of you all the time,
0:54:38 > 0:54:40then that makes you children.
0:54:40 > 0:54:46- We are adults. We are not children. - But whose rules guide you?
0:54:46 > 0:54:50- God's.- God's rules guide us, but it is...
0:54:50 > 0:54:54The Constitution is written as "we, the people",
0:54:54 > 0:54:56not "we, the politicians".
0:54:56 > 0:54:59Trump is trying to stop what they've started.
0:54:59 > 0:55:03You don't trust the government, the way it works,
0:55:03 > 0:55:07- and yet you trust Mr Trump? - We trust honourable people.
0:55:07 > 0:55:09That's why we love Donald Trump.
0:55:09 > 0:55:15A year and a half ago, this may sound odd, but...
0:55:15 > 0:55:19I was sitting one day and God spoke to me and said, "That's my man."
0:55:19 > 0:55:22I see that there is no way that one can tell you
0:55:22 > 0:55:25that this man is not a good thing for America.
0:55:25 > 0:55:28- Well, honey...- But we have to see. Let's wait and see.
0:55:28 > 0:55:33# Oh, I've never been to heaven But I've been told
0:55:33 > 0:55:39# The walls are jasper and the streets are gold
0:55:39 > 0:55:44# I often wonder about that view
0:55:44 > 0:55:49# But the greatest thought when we march through... #
0:55:51 > 0:55:54I've been trying to find out about American values,
0:55:54 > 0:55:59and I feel they may need to be redefined.
0:55:59 > 0:56:02It's not family, it's conformity.
0:56:02 > 0:56:06"You've got to be the same as us or we'll lock you up,
0:56:06 > 0:56:08"we'll exclude you."
0:56:08 > 0:56:10And as for preppers...
0:56:10 > 0:56:12# Brother Stephen, look... #
0:56:12 > 0:56:16..they're right - the world is a perilous place,
0:56:16 > 0:56:19and they are wary of something.
0:56:19 > 0:56:20And maybe it's of seeing
0:56:20 > 0:56:24the America that they cherish disappearing,
0:56:24 > 0:56:27but they're not wary enough of Mr Trump.
0:56:27 > 0:56:30They seem to have let down their guard entirely
0:56:30 > 0:56:31where he's concerned.
0:56:31 > 0:56:37And I don't think there's any point in what they're doing, really,
0:56:37 > 0:56:43because in a nuclear war, forget it. We're all stuffed.
0:56:43 > 0:56:48If the financial system fails, we're all stuffed.
0:56:49 > 0:56:51They are not really looking forward at all.
0:56:51 > 0:56:54They are looking backwards.
0:56:54 > 0:56:56SONG ENDS
0:56:56 > 0:56:58- APPLAUSE - Thank you.
0:56:58 > 0:57:02They've come here to escape from the present into the past,
0:57:02 > 0:57:06and I don't think people should be escaping.
0:57:06 > 0:57:12We should be standing square-on and facing the future and evolving,
0:57:12 > 0:57:14changing, adapting.
0:57:15 > 0:57:17Not going back.
0:57:20 > 0:57:23Miriam tries to discover if the United States
0:57:23 > 0:57:26are the divided states.
0:57:26 > 0:57:28Her adventure takes her through the Deep South...
0:57:28 > 0:57:30That is horrible.
0:57:30 > 0:57:33..from the cowboys of the Wild West...
0:57:33 > 0:57:36- You've just never met a lesbian Jew before.- Oh, my God!
0:57:36 > 0:57:39..to the lady bikers of New Orleans.
0:57:39 > 0:57:41You've got to go raise your shirt up and show your tits.
0:57:41 > 0:57:45- Oh, I can do that any time! - LAUGHTER
