Red State Road Trip 2: Jump Off The World (Video – Part VI)

Mullinville Kansas

As we produce journalism that combats authoritarianism, censorship, injustice, and misinformation, your support is urgently needed. Please make a year-end gift to Truthout today.

Mullinville Kansas, a mere speck on the map, is home to the great M.T. Liggett – Kansas’ most celebrated outcast. His metal sculptures stretch for miles into the prairie. Free thinking and foul mouthed, M.T. provokes the local inhabitants. “If you can’t think for yourself, then jump off the world!”. M.T. Liggett also appeared in the original Red State Road Trip 2005.

In 2008, Chris Hume and Amy Sunshine Moon explored a country on the edge of financial ruin. “Red State Road Trip 2” is a celebration of the American people as they struggle to survive in a harsh new landscape.

Short videos from the documentary will appear every few days. The full DVD is available for sale at www.redstateroadtrip.com. A portion of the proceeds will go to Truthout.
