Описание: Cold Coon & Collards is both a time-travel experience and a window into someone beginning to live a life of independent thought, expression, curiosity and following his own heart. Jerked from family farm to Cold War military bases by his fathers naval career, young Mark grows up in the 1950s, indoctrinated with Apocalyptic fundamentalism and right-wing politics. After meeting people who dont conform to that world view, because of race or religion, Mark drifts away from the fold. The cultural detonations of the 1960s are just beginning.
