I hope this clarifies the information of the documentary. Like any television show there are always a chance or re-editing, renaming, and moving of the showtime.

September 23: 8 -10 p.m. EST. The History Channel presents: HILLBILLY: THE REAL STORY. Hosted by actor and country music singer Billy Ray Cyrus, this two- hour special brings America's mythic and misunderstood southern mountain people to life and reveal their pivotal but little known role in forming the nation and forging the American character. Ever since they first arrived in the southern mountains 300 years ago, the hillfolk of Appalachia have been seen as a group apart, often mocked and misunderstood. The show includes a segment on the largest civil insurrection since the Civil War -- the Battle for Blair Mountain in the violent West Virginia coalfields in 1921, when a self-proclaimed Redneck Army of 10,000 coal miners fought for their right to organize.
