Griff’s Great American South
6 x 60 minutes for Channel 4 UK, ABC Australia, Sphere Abacus
Think you know the Deep South of America? The hot nights, the plantation mansions, the ‘gators, jazz and delta blues, rednecks, Dixie, cotton, Nashville, Memphis, the Mississippi and the Bible Belt… There are more stories about the American South than any other part of the US – and Griff Rhys Jones is out to discover them. Wry, funny, poignant, and always entertaining, Griff’s Great American South stares down the cliches, opens the history, and explores America’s secret heart. From The Atlantic to the Gulf and points in between.
