Ginseng Culture,
WV Public Broadcasting submitted by Eric Burkhart on January 27th, 2010
Hello everyone,
Some of you may know that I was assisting with the production/content of a documentary on American ginseng (and ginseng culture) involving ginseng communities in WV and PA. The piece was spearheaded by an old friend who works for WV public television with the idea that it would be expanded in 2010-11 from a 30 minute piece to 60 minutes.
The 30 minute piece aired this past weekend on WV Public TV and is now available for viewing on YouTube. I think Chuck (my friend) did a fine job of presenting the complexities and characters in the world of ginseng (but perhaps I am biased). When you have some time, take a look at it and, if you think it is worthy, please share it with others. Also, if you feel you would want to contribute/be featured in the expanded piece, or recommend someone else to be featured, let me know.
Hope you enjoy.
