Okie Noodling
Another documentary where the filmmakers couldn't help kind of putting themselves into the film and instigating certain events. But it wasn't as severe as some instances, and luckily the rest of the film plays out rather well.
The subject of this film is "noodling" which is fishing with your hands. Specifically, fishing for catfish by sticking your fingers in a hole and wiggling them around until the fish bites your hand and you pull the fish out with it's mouth clamped on to your hand. These fish do have teeth and these guys do get bloody. If you find this idea interesting, then the film should satisfy your interest.
The main piece of interference by the filmmakers is setting up a noodling contest. But I do have to admit it leads to an interesting event with many of the people previously visited in the film all coming together.
Even though I watched it on DVD, it looks like the film is free to watch here with a link on Spout. So click on it now, and you haven't wasted any money or major effort if you decide it's not for you.
