Comparative Analysis


Moonshiners: Seasons One and Two. Dir. Valerie Smaltini. Discovery Channel. 2011 - Present. Television.

Lawless is a film that is set back in the 1920's during the Prohibition Ear. Speeding up time and coming into the twenty-first century Moonshiners has brought us a craft the has been around for over two centuries. These men have families to support. A man on the show is trying to save $200,000 so that he can make his business legal. Tempation takes over and he realizes that he has to make illegal moonshine in order to make legal moonshine. You never stay in one place for more than a couple of days because there is always someone watching you. We find that in the movie Lawless the youngest brother takes a girl down to where they have their massive moonshine business and deputy Rakes follows them. The entire business gets destroyed. Months of labor to have it all pulled out from under you. Luckly in both the movie Lawless and the Discovery Channel show Moonshiners they both learn from their mistakes.
