Country Boys: Cody

Starting January 9, acclaimed filmmaker David Sutherland, returns to FRONTLINE and PBS with "Country Boys," an epic tale of two boys coming of age in Eastern Kentucky's Appalachian hills. Over three nights, viewers will come to know Cody Perkins and Chris Johnson, classmates at an alternative high school who inhabit the same world yet are light years apart. "Country Boys" traverses the emotional terrain of two boys who are about to become men, documenting their struggles to overcome hardship and poverty and find meaning in their lives. Cody is an orphan. His mother's post-partum suicide left him in the care of his father, who 12 years later killed his seventh wife before turning the gun on himself. He hopes viewers will be inspired by his story and realize that life, as he sees it, is more good than bad. Country Boys is a co-production of David Sutherland Productions, Inc., WGBH/FROTNLINE and the Independent Television Service (ITVS). Funding for FRONTLINE is provided by the Park Foundation and through the support of PBS viewers.
