A filmmaker who worked with America's most inbred family described his first meeting with the Whittakers as 'like a scene out of Deliverance'
A filmmaker who worked with America's most inbred family described his first meeting with the Whittakers as 'like a scene out of Deliverance'. Mark Laita spoke about his experience with the family in a new documentary and compared it to the 1972 thriller movie, the Mirror reports.
His comparison is in reference to the famous motion picture where four men go on a canoeing trip for the weekend down a river in the Georgia backcountry and are met with their worst nightmares. He continued: "We came around to this road, which turns into a country road, which turns into a dirt road, and we come to this trailer and then a little shack on the other side of the road.
The filmmaker met three siblings and a cousin who were living together in a filthy home along with their dogs during the meeting. He revealed that some family members were only able to communicate through grunts and squeals and seemed to be suffering with physical and mental health conditions. The film was posted to his Youtube channel which goes by the name Soft White Underbelly and it shows him chatting with the siblings, Betty, Lorraine and Ray and cousin, Timmy. Another brother, Freddie, had passed away from a heart condition.
