THE RUNNERS A BOOTLEGGER STORY BLACK SCREEN. TEXT ON SCREEN — “History doesn’t erase people… it just chooses who to remember.” NARRATOR When I look at books, documentaries, and stories about moonshine culture—our story is missing. But make no mistake—we were there. We were deep in it. And we didn’t call it moonshine. We called it stump, stumphole, and good old corn liquor—the kind that ran hotter than the southern sun and smoother than a front porch lie. RURAL SOUTH – 1930s NARRATOR In this town, one name stood above them all: The Jamisons. They didn’t just hustle—they ruled. A tight-knit Black family, bonded by blood, bootlegging, and backbone. They controlled their side of town without fear, without apology—not even the powerful white families dared test them. The land? The business? The respect? The Jamisons took it—and kept it. You couldn’t infiltrate them, couldn’t outwork them, and you damn sure couldn’t outdrink them. This is more than a story about liquor.
