“Remember, we focus on things that aren’t blatantly touristic. We want to peel back the curtain and talk about local knowledge and local experience. The things that are accessible to the audience.” Continues Mr. Greenberg. “We went to Hundred Man Hall and with an amazing concert by a gospel choir where in the middle of it they pulled me up on stage to play the organ. And you know what? That’s an experience I’ll never forget. It’s that sort of inclusivity that we try to stress on the show. And when you look at the history of that one building and who played there there’s your story. Because they preserved it and they’re perpetuating it. Yet most people who come to Mississippi don’t know about it.”
The documentary will also feature the importance of the schooner to the history of our local maritime traditions. You will see Mr. Greenberg himself embark on a rowboat as well, following the same path taken by our very own Walter Anderson to Horn Island. Viewers will also see Mr. Greenberg work at a local casino, help out at a sea turtle rehab facility, and more. It’s Mr. Greenberg’s keen focus on the ever-important minutia of our beloved home, its history, folklore, and stories, that will make America’s Hidden Coast: Mississippi such an important watch. A viewing experience for all to enjoy, this enchanting look at our coastal home promises to make people who have yet to even visit feel the same yearning a local might feel when thinking of their favorite South Mississippi landmarks, hot spots, and stories. For Mr. Greenberg, it’s an essential part of relearning how to engage in the local, small-town American experience.
