Roberta Pacino says:

I made this documentary with my husband and my teenage son. "The Shiver Shack" documentary tells a story that frees the collective voice of those folks who lived without modern plumbing – real folks who remember it well. Both shocking and hilarious, these old timers delve deep into their memories, telling tales about the outhouse. From the brutal sun to the icy snowstorms and from spiders to snakes, our rugged forefathers and mothers braved all sorts of hazards to answer the call of nature. "The Shiver Shack" presents a folklore study, which captures the tone of Americana at its best.
