Story
Much more than black or white, the story of a painted horse told around an Amish table.
Paint The Amish Horse Black and White was produced by Emily Newton for the 2012 ShortDocs Challenge.
Producer
Before Emily Newton settled in West Virginia working with Allegheny Mountain Radio, she was traveling the country as a puppeteer. Newton’s years in theatre taught her the importance of truthful storytelling. Emily works devotedly on The 219 Project: an archive of voices telling stories from the great Appalachian highway, US Route 219. “In Appalachia, the term neighborhood is relative,” Newton explains. “We have mountains instead of stop signs. Our neighbors might live off the same road, but across the state line."
