  • Summary

  • The eastern half of the continental USA is dotted with places inaccurately described as "tri-racial isolate communities".

    One of the largest such population groups can be found spread over Eastern Kentucky, the western parts of Virginia, East Tennessee, and West Virginia.

    Widely known as "Melungeons", few Americans have been the subject of such intense scrutiny and curiosity.

    Who are these people? And why are they called "Melungeons"?

    In this third and final installment of a three-part episode, we complete our exploration of this Appalachian and American enigma.

    Is this a story about weirdly exotic or isolated people - or is it a story about the lies and myths at the heart of American identity itself?
