Appalachia’s Bootleg Kings: The Ball Family of Harlan County | Documentary for Sleep

Deep in the coal-scarred hills of Harlan County, Kentucky, the Ball family rose from poverty to power — turning moonshine into money and family loyalty into bloodshed.
When Prohibition dried up the country, the Balls built their own empire, running whiskey through the mountains under the noses of lawmen who dared not cross them.
But greed, betrayal, and gunfire would bring their dynasty crashing down.

This is the true story of Appalachia’s Bootleg Kings — a family who ruled the ridges, defied the revenuers, and paid the ultimate price.

Told in the voice of Holler Tales, this sleep documentary brings you back to the dusty roads, copper stills, and haunted hollers where legends never die.

If you enjoy stories of outlaw justice, Appalachian history, and forgotten American legends — settle in, the hills are whisperin’ again.
