Synopsis

Andy Griffith's hometown of Mount Airy, North Carolina is in many ways the "REAL" Mayberry. But like many small towns that were historically dependent on manufacturing and agriculture, it lost thousands of jobs and had to redefine itself. Through a close look at the real people living there, along with clips from "The Andy Griffith Show", we explore how small town America can survive and keep its heart and soul.
