The Piney Woods
Script
Inspired by true events — A story about the West-Kimbrell Clan in North Louisiana—model citizens by day and killers by night, killing more people than the James gang.
They terrorize and kill those who come from the North after the Civil War hoping to profit from Reconstruction, and in mortal fear of its own, the town of Winnfield looks the other way until a local couple is abducted for not joining the clan.
The town rises up, and led by a group of boys ages 13 to 18 kills the entire clan on a fateful Easter Sunday.
*Adapted Screenplay, Based on the Book, ‘From Hell to Heaven’ by William E. Nolan
