Synopsis

“I reckon, if people outside of Dry Fork didn’t know the people inside, they’d think you made up half of what you say.”
-Garland Grant

When Piggs Flew is a largely visual and intimate true history following the lives of a bold and prosperous southern Virginia family. Tradition and values are high with the Pigg family—a heritage spanning before the American Revolution to present times as they’ve built a community from the ground up, developing their own flour mill, schools, store, post office, blacksmith shop, and the biggest distillery in the county. Fortunes were gained and lost. Journeys were made across the country and out of the country—each generation forging a most impactful story, such as how the mastery of Hutch Pigg’s distilling landed him destitute in Mexico with little hope of survival:

“When I was held prisoner at Ascension, I expected each day that I would be murdered before another day passed…”
-Excerpt from letter by Hutch Pigg
