Her time is now.
In a forgotten pocket of Southern Ohio where American manufacturing and opportunity are drying up, a determined young woman finds a ticket out when she is accepted to college. Alongside her older brother, Ruth Avery joins a dangerous scrap metal crew in order to pay her way. Together, they spend one brutal winter working the scrap yards during the day and stealing valuable metal from the once thriving factories by night. With her goal in sight, Ruth finds that the ultimate cost of an education for a girl like her may be more than she bargained for, and she soon finds herself torn between a promising future and the family she would leave behind.

Surprisingly good, understated story of American quiet pride, endurance and perseverance while waiting for politicians to stop putting everyone else first. An American success story of family and individualism. Four and a half stars.
Bleak and gritty, with a twinkle of hope and aspiration, Holler is a stark look at the under supported mid-drift of America; the plight of it's people and the oppression felt by those of under the poverty line. Some cutting points are made here (political figures using said communities problems as talking points while doing nothing about them, as well as the migration/loss of industry to other economies) so go in expecting a tough watch. Enter with the right headspace, and Holler is a difficult yet rewarding slice-of-life; a window into the life of the forgotten. Good stuff.
