The Serpent Handlers allows the Signs Followers to speak for themselves. It focuses on three families-the Brown family of Tennessee, the Coots family of Kentucky, and the Elkins family of West Virginia-each of which goes back several generations in the faith. The interviewees, both men and women, tell personal stories about their involvement in the church, the community, and family life. They tell how the Bible compels them to put their lives on the line by taking up snakes, and what it feels like to do so. The Serpent Handlers seeks to record and preserve the customs and way of life of the Signs Followers. What emerges is a portrait of a group of people with deep faith and unshakeable convictions.
