Before I die, I’d love to visit the American deep south. I have no idea why I, an Indian thousands of miles away, have always felt a connection with the region since I was a kid. It’s charm, beauty and culture is so appealing. May its people live and love in peace and prosperity for centuries to come. Love from 🇮🇳.
You thinking that now but wait until you actually come down here
@@Saint_Judah Why? All ears/eyes.
@@Saint_Judah I share this guys sentiment. I honestly wish I could grow up multiple times experiencing different terrains and the deep south is a place I'd especially wana try.
I imagine the swamps are pretty in their unique own way, but I tell myself: there's a reason few people live out here. I'll visit one day and get a taste of these places.
@@Saint_Judah It may not bee the catch in the U.S. But considering how other nations must live and have lived in the past, the U.S and this part of the U.S is wealthy.
It is a beautiful place to be. Has its negatives, too; but, it is all about perspective!
As a child i would read books about Louisiana and fell in love with the cajun culture. I so wanted to live back in those swamps living off the land. I grew up and the city got me. One day i will get a chance to live out that childhood dream but until then i am a city boy...
I have always wanted to live in the swamps on a houseboat
I dont know why the south fascinates me so much. I'm located in Germany and I'm so much into the south. One day i wanna see a swamp in the US.
It’s beautiful here in Louisiana there’s something so peaceful about sitting on the porch drinking sweet tea. Watching the colors of a beautiful sunset 🌅 the smell of fresh cut grass the beautiful glistening over the water in the early morning. It’s my little peace of heaven. Everyone is welcome here 😊
Same here, almost exactly, but city girl. I want to be there so bad it hurts! Good luck to us both!
I moved from the Chicago area 5 years ago to South Louisiana. I asked my husband if he wanted to take a chance on life and he said yes. So at 52 and 62 we packed up our life and moved. I love it here.
I have been there back in late eighties, and I loved it. People loved to see me speak French with them. I loved the food the lay back attitude. Mes salutations aux acadiens du sud du Mississippi.
I grew up tucked in between the Mighty Mississippi, Rock Island & Green Rivers. I wish I was still there. One thing those who grew up around the Mighty Mississippi is....you held great respect for just how dangerous she really is...just beneath the lazy inline currents flowing a top....for just a little below there are rip tides that have literally taken entire families at one time. Good docu great voice wonderful narration...thanks for taking me along this journey...places I know I will never get to see for myself
I live along her now, grew up here. And you're so right; every year people go out on her and make one wrong move and don't ever come back to land. She'll drag you down and drown you in the cold in a moment.
One of the best documentary I have seen so far
Such an amazing accent! I do love listening to people from Mississippi!
Louisiana
This is Louisiana not Mississippi
The Mississippi is big, and fascinating to me and the history, it was this cool water highway. It's how the blues grew
a fascinating insight into the people and customs along the way...that guy is a brilliant artist and just love the Cajun music....
I grew up in the Southern swamps. Not good, poverty. Went to Vietnam to get outta here. Then I wanted to come back here and hide from the war goblins. But I went and got educated and made a good living. Still people down here living on what they can catch. Still old haunted shacks and boat wrecks. Nothing has changed here.
Where do you live now?
Liar
I've been to the mississippi river. there is definitely a 'creep' factor to the southern US. It's beautiful, but you can feel the good.. and bad.. parts of history pretty strong.
Emmett till!
I am gay
@@buckhaynes4481 Yup.
Lots of black bodies in those waters.
@@mareerogers1114 too many
New Orleans is definitely haunted. My husband and I both experienced a spirit on Bourbon Street. It was a bit scary but all good. It’s a beautiful place
Its so different than New Orleans. Different culture. I grew up in this area. We are a special breed
I went to New Orleans in 1970 from NZ as a 19yr old kid by myself & loved it after watching Easy Rider. Tried to hitch but Police kicked me off the freeway so bought an Austin Healey sprite car in El Paso. Got into Baton Rouge when there was a big shootout but lucky never saw it--but then no news on the west coast about it??? A fascinating place with psycho yoyos at the Maadi Gras & the people were so nice to me even though noone seemed to know where NZ was???? Having a beer with chucked oysters & listening to Clarence Frogman & Al Hirt was a draw??? Best wishes to you--fond memories ----love to come back as in my 70s now.
Wow! I’m from
NZ and would love to travel to the Deep South.. I hope you are well❤
that artist is frigging phenominal.....wow i love his work!!

Why is Cajun culture so captivating? it draws me in.
@@awiseguydrinkingtea9735 ?
The seasoning
Its a way of life.
I would love to see the South and all the historical sites, especially the beautiful plantation homes.
It is fascinating to visit plantations. They are so beautiful.
I've learned about America and the Mississippi river ever since I was a teenager and I love Cajun cuisine. I made Jambalaya this year on the 4th of July. I hope to go to Louisiana one day and eat authentic Cajun food and enjoy some of the scenery.
Blues brought me here love to every 1 from a libyan😘
I didn’t know that thi video was about south Louisiana when I first found it. I live in Baton Rouge. I saw things I’ve never seen before. I absolutely enjoyed it.
Thanks!🙏

Excellent. Content like this is TH-cam at it's best.
This River, it will get in your blood. You become bound to it.
The River demands respect or you will become part of The Mississippi in a not so good way.
I have the upmost respect for the crew members and Captains of the towboats I serve as a transport boat Captain.
On the most calm days or nights things can go wrong in seconds which keeps you very alert and aware of what is coming down and upstream.

Thank you, Skipper.
Love this! Thanks 👍😊🇺🇲❤️🙏
That man's paintings were wonderful. I just love large paintings from talented artists.
I was down there a few years ago so awesome
That painter is incredible
love to visit this place.
Mighty Mississippi.... ❤
Red beans & rice, beignets, muffaletta, poor boys , etouffee😋😋😋
My roots on my grandma side is from mississippi greenwood
Mam I want to visit there ,will u help
Greenwood is in the delta and it’s a hardcore town filled with poverty and racial bias . I live in Memphis and the delta is a sad place in America 🇺🇸
My great grandmother came from a place she called BowWow Swamps, Mississippi, I doubt if it still exists; there were many boom town and agregarian societies back then towns and communities had short life spans 20-25 years then when the boom declined the boomtowns usually dwindled to nothing.
Amazing how there are still French speaking people living in La Louisiaine.
Around 7 million. Wanna see my Cajun French dictionary, cher?
10:17 the crawfish is praying for God lmao 😂😂😂😂
Lmao
XD XD XD
Man, those little mud bugs got some attitude he's like "BRING IT!"
New Orleans is a place i will love to visit and travel too in #USA
Wow!...those are real great paintings!
That's the Mississippi. The mighty Mississip. The old Miss...The old man...
Thanks, Clark. 😊
It's interesting to hear certain people romanticize and sanitize plantations. #terrorasafootnote
I listened with my blood boiling to hear this woman talk about the wonderful.life her ancestors created on a slave plantation. The slave quarters may now be called guest cottage the previous occupants were not!
You act like they invented slavery in the south. Moron. As a matter of fact It was the UNITED STATES, south included, who ended the MILLENIA long practice called slavery. You should be celebrating these people. Sure they had slaves. Like every other rich person on the planet had for centuries. At least they moved past it, whereas you are still stuck
@@stephenhargrave7922 hi. i'm not one to respond to old comments, but this one is just so appalling I could not resist. Do you not realize that this woman's entire fiscal legacy is a RESULT of slavery?? The house she lives in now, the cherished epitomization of her family's "hard work" and "contribution" to the country, would not even be here without the institution of slavery. Yes, of course, they did not invent slavery in the south. Yes, of course, slavery existed around the world well before the 17th century. BUT in no other country on earth did slavery become so institutionalized in a way that has/had a lasting and damning impact on society. and the fact that she is now using this home as a form of income (museums) and a relaxing place of leisure for friends and family is absolutely despicable to me. Ok, im done. Again, I apologize for responding to this comment (i'm sure you even forgot about it in the first place). I hope you are well and staying safe.
The narrator is so German. Since I am, I can hear it so clearly! Go USA
@Da Boot Allemagne is the french word for Germany
Abosultely the best, went in thoise areas when I was a boy, so long ago, Special people.!!!!
I'm in Georgia, Bless you ❤
The slave quarters now serve as guest houses.... 🤦🏾🤦🏾🤦🏾🤦🏾🤦🏾🤦🏾🤦🏾🤦🏾. Anyway.... BEAUTIFULLY FILMED AND NARRATED
Great documentary!
Im looking for as much information on island 40 Memphis/Arkansas as possible. My grandmother grew up and was raised in the 1940's there. I am trying to learn about my family ! Thank you for any help
Live in Monterey. Love it. Fished it many times.
Amazing documentary....Nakuru Kenya.
Schön hier aber waren sie schon Mal in Baden-Württemberg
A place in deep south Louisiana where skin color don't matter?
I'd lkke to see it.
hahaha
North is way more racist.
Unless you are Hispanic. They probably wouldn't like you.
@@paceflchick 6 of 1 half dozen of the other. Skin privilege is one of the few things on which rebels and yankees agree.
Have you ever lived in the Deep South? Places like Mississippi have been overcompensating for 60 years.
I lobe this part of America!!
Does anyone know if you can get this documentary on DVD?
With such a dark history
I am from canada but I went to see louisiana in 2006 after katrina ,holy cow .the weather is like asia,humid hot,sweaty ,good for agriculture of any kind. water everywhere. you can see a ship going alongside the road, and catch seafood everywhere,and crocks ,mostly blacks people in that state,but that city is like bangladesh prone to hurricanes and will get inundated,
11:46 does that song have a title?
Wow, Angola State Prison Rodeo?!
Very interesting.
Very interesting.....BUT...turn the music DOWN and the voice UP! What is all the whispering about?
I like how the black people stand for the land of the free and are still persecuted in most states, my prayers are with you that one day America will become what they preach.
Would that be lake Martin in the scene where the man is reminiscing his youth in the boat and then again the scene where a man is sitting beside a levee pump on a short pier?
❤ Mississippi😉
Ann Butler! Cut that check $$$
Thanks 🙏
I was born in Mississippi, and my memories of the South still bring out "anger" in me. The Blacks were treated so "BAD" until a lot of Blacks left the South in "fear and anger". There was no "reason or excuse" for the way we were treated. To this day, I don't have any "respect" for Mississippi, and don't have a desire to ever go there again!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I wouldn’t have mind growing up in MS but because I am a black folk and there’s still heavy racism in that state particularly I don’t think so. I wish I could’ve grown up near a swamp. I live in Central NC tho
Im from Mississippi i was poor they made fun of mei was called white trash the blacks wouldnt the only one to this day it hurt
Shirley Etheridge white tears
Samesh Maharaj Do you really believe that?!My guess we shall see indeed.
@Samesh Maharaj you mean native Americans or Indians get your facts straight
Narration volume is way too low.
The Natchez Burning a Great blues song by Howlin Wolf check it out and the history of the burning. RIP to all those who perished in the fire :-( Peace
A side of USA I've never seen before.... sure wished it went all the way north, east & west the place would be a dream.
@kasey LOCKRIDGE you have never been here tho
Sinon 1ere F best classe ever
Why dose the documentary starts with the map of Morecambe,. I live there, it was a bit strange seeing it
A great place to live, if you survive July and August
Acadians are still alive good and strong in northern new brunswick, Peninsule acadien
This dude mispronounced so many words. But it's ok he's not from here.
In American English, which is the variance we speak, there are more than 22 recognized dialects. That's how we know "He's not from here" or alternately "he's not from these parts," or "He's a Yankee." See what I did there?
Where's TROY LANDRY ?????
😂😂
I’m a googlin it
The person narrating this needed to learn how to pronounce the names of the people and the Atchafalaya Basin.
We use to have small catfish farm. 40 acres.back in the 60s. Raised crawfish to .
Good
Come on! Play some real delta blues. That there sound track is weak!!
this was very interesting. I am from 100% acadian (found at ancestry DNA), only went to massachusetts. We have a peculiar trait... we don't like warm water fish. LoL. Would love to visit there. The crawdad stuff is a survival adaptation.. all american.
My first thought while watching this was "didn't any of those Cajuns in Breaux Bridge or Henderson ever tell the producer how to pronounce Atchafalaya?" Then I got to thinking "they're Cajuns. They get a kick out of making fools out of outsiders." Proper pronunciation Uh-chaf-uh-lie-yuh or some will drop the y sound and say uh-chaf-uh-lie-uh.
Nice place
Yummy! I love those little crustaceans!
I would have enjoyed this but there are just too many ads; bye-bye.
That Prison! Its like someones gladiator school!
Age and skin don’t matter here lmao 😂😂😂😂😂😂yeah right
?
I laughed also
I guess it must be experienced to be believed.
No it doesn't. The North is segregated .you're brainwashed and living on propaganda.
Look at lil Wayne for an example.
only white person says that hhhhhhh
I can't wait to visit here, I love the mix of races!
I think I'll find a way to get there!
I need to get outta California.
Just take I-10 East, as soon as you pass Texas, Louisiana is right there 😎
They don't mix though not at all like oil and water
As soon as you Blythe, you'll be and feel much better about yourself and your life. I left California only once. That's all it takes.
We have more of a mix of races here in california
@Citizen Cyx we feed you all in the real world
So are crawfish basically prawns in fresh water?
Sorta. Actually tastier, believe it or not.
Where's the part 2 ?
Press the arrow..
Nothing like a day at the prison rodeo! Followed by a good day of fishing in the swamp. Yep!
Sound is wroooong
The poor narrator butchered just about every french name. Besides that, really enjoyed the video!
10:18..... wtf
Ikkrr??😂
maggaphantus ..hahaa
I waved back..
"LOOK AT ME! LOOOK AT MEEE!!!! IM RIGHT HEERE!"
god I love crawfish
10:18 mudbug waving at the camera lol
Why is it that black business people and black entrepreneurs are not investing in Jackson Mississippi ???😮😮😮😢🎉
Looks like red dead 2
@@SwervinNeons Also has a southern state called Leymone and a region called Roanoke Ridge, so there is a eastern side.
u can always tell the age of a doco when there isn't any mobiles eh haha 'oh that right n u see a 80's style vhs recorder or wat ever they wree called again lol 'as i so many times have wondered when the hell the dam-show was made n then ppl uploading never much pt it down in the story-line 'subscriptions 'wat eva.
How did I get here....lol
Idk how I got here either
That’s a weird polka
Poverty
-the peaceful idyll has to be seen-its on my hit list of things to do-times are moving on-see Reg D Hunters Deep South video worth watching for sure. Charles paintings are wonderful. Try watching this and feeling positive about life.
i'd like to fact check the 'millions' of others reporting on slavery...there weren't THAT many people in the US even at the time. Unless slaves out number everyone elses...
There were over 19 million natives already here and over 60 million Africans sold in the slave trade
388,000 came to the U.S. of the 10.7 million slaves who entered the Americas between 1525 and 1866 according to the Trans-Atlantic Slave Trade Database
Don't you know facts are outdated. Antiquated. Dang! Stick to mono-syllabic phrasing. Hold on let me flog myself. Ok I'm back. Whining, complaining, or over emotional entitlement syndrome are now the only acceptable modes of expression Unless you can reference hack edited unresearched TH-cam documentaries. Thou who quote the internet, speaketh idiocy you never forget
Why do we have to boil baby catfish alive? That's cruel You just take the baby away from their m.other before she has seen herbaby baby SHE zzz
Sje
New Orleans is having trouble now. Age and skin color "don't matter". Covid-19.
Be a whole lot better a documentary if the narrator bothered to learn how to pronounce places names correctly
not going to sell his painting till after he's dead? ok but kind of stupid
.......and the bit about the African dancers exposing their priv parts??? Where? which one? He's got that wrong (lol).
bloomberg commercial he was fired at 39 and become rich his commercial does not say WHY HE WAS FIRED
