The American cultural industry, particularly Hollywood, makes up and reproduces stereotypes of people and nations all over the world. Though not pioneered by Disney, cultural misrepresentations are often, sadly, the lifeblood of a certain kind of comedic punching downward.

This documentary will take 24:47 of your time. "Mister V, The Jones," set in Morteaux Couliboeuf, South Normandy, goes behind the scenes of these dairy ranchers, gun enthusiasts, cheese makers, and rock and roll musicians that travel to Nashville to meet Americans and eventually play a set in an empty bar.
"The Jones is based on a true story, according to a rumor."
