- On this episode of Based on a True Story we chat with author Matt Bondurant about the historical accuracy of the movie Lawless. Matt is the grandson of Jack Bondurant, the man portrayed by Shia LaBeouf in the film, as well as the author of The Wettest County in the World, the book the movie is based on.
Lawless is a spectacular story. I missed the boat not seeing this sooner. I would urge anyone who likes good story telling and great acting to see this wonderful film.
I agree! Lawless is a movie that sort of flew in under the radar
one of the best films ive seen in the last 10 years
If you have not seen this movie I highly suggest it. It's a great story. Franklin and Floyd counties were overflowing with bootleg booze back in the day and today there are still some good liquor recipes to come from there, and even a taste from there I'm sure too !
Great movie! It was an honor to chat with Matt to learn more about the story. Thanks for listening!
Henry Abshire wasn't killed transporting a prisoner to Floyd County. He died of old age, 88 years old in 1958. He was my grandfather. Jeff Richards was the deputy killed in the ambush.
Thanks for the additional info!
He was really you’re grandfather?? Sorry for asking but everyone always says “he was my grandpa” no disrespect meant.
These were moonshiners, one of their grandsons is making, shine today and selling it at government stores, you can visit their still, and have a drink there.
Spirits can still be purchased from Franklin County....You have to know people and most of all,,,they have to know you.
Cos-tell’-oh. As in “Abbot & Costello” ...
Is the bondurant store blackwater station still standing if so where is it
Unfortunately I don't know the answer to your question, sorry! Thanks for listening, though!
They have a store/ gift shop in Chase city VA
Yes, it is inside a furniture warehouse. The owner won't even let the Historical Society come in and take 1 board off of the building.
My uncles and great uncle all made moonshine my great uncle made it all his life and never had a real job moonshine was his job and he was damn good at it always had plenty of money and did well for himself he was the biggest moonshine guy around our area
