Filthy Riches

Description: The old Dolly Parton hit `9 to 5' isn't a tune worth humming for the blue-collar pioneers featured in `Filthy Riches'. The programme spotlights ingenious Americans who skirt a conventional workplace in favour of making a living in the deep rivers, soggy mud flats and wild backwoods of the US. Ray Turner, for example, has been catching eels in Delaware for 30 years. He uses a self-made smokehouse in the woods to cook the critters and sell them. Billy Taylor and his sons hunt for prized ginseng root in the Appalachians. Taylor, a fully licensed wild ginseng dealer, promotes sustainability by planting its berries. In Maine, Jim Campbell and Andy Johns make the coastal mud flats their office, as they dig for valuable bloodworms to sell to fishermen. And Greg Dahl and Albert DeSilva are burl hunters. A burl is a hard, unwieldy outgrowth on a tree, usually at the trunk. Burls have value because of the spectacular patterns found in them when cut open.
