Academy award winning filmmaker Paul Wagner and folklorist Steve Zeitlin produced this 1983 oral history of the old-time travelling medicine show performers, with a recreated medicine show staged in a small North Carolina town.
For viewers interested in other films about medicine shows, we recommend Born For Hard Luck, directed by Folkstreams founder Tom Davenport.
