The Hollerin' Contest at Spivey's Corner

Movie

Starring Robby Goodman, Iris Turner, Tony Peacock

This documentary short is about the history, characters, and sounds of the National Hollerin' Contest. Hollerin' itself is considered by some to be the earliest form of communication between humans, and the annual competition has been held in the small town of Spivey's Corner, NC since 1969. The film follows the stories of three former champions as they attempt to reclaim their titles, and keep the oft-forgotten tradition of hollerin' alive.
