Carolina Low (originally titled Paradise Falls) is a 1997 American independent Southern Gothic crime drama period film directed by Nick Searcy and written by Sean Bridgers and his mother Sue Ellen Bridgers.[1] The film focuses on two young men in the Appalachian countryside of Western North Carolina engaging in bank robberies to give back to their neighbors impacted by the foreclosures of their farms by banks during the Great Depression.

It was filmed on-location in Jackson, Haywood and Macon counties in North Carolina during a 23-day period in 1995.[2][3] It received the award for Best Feature Film under $1 million at the 1998 Hollywood Film Festival.[3]

Plot

Henry Bancroft and Oshel Hooper are farmers’ sons in rural North Carolina in 1934. Both are poor, and the Great Depression is forcing many of their neighbors out of their farms. In addition, Oshel’s father died in World War I, and he is so disillusioned with what he sees as a chaotic society that he dreams of redistributing wealth through robbery. When the bank forecloses on Henry’s father’s farm, he begins to take Oshel more seriously, and the two embark on a string of bank heists.
