Next to the banks of the Mississippi River is the Delta region, a land that feels removed from America. A distinct culture with a turbulent history... home of blues music and some of the warmest people in the world. Join me as we get lost on a road trip and learn from the ground up from the locals what this part of America is like.

Thanks for watching! There is a certain magic and mystery in the Delta region that's hard to explain but hopefully some of that comes through in this video. ► 🎥 More Behind the Scenes Videos: petersantenello.com/ ► 📝 My Free Weekly Newsletter: www.bit.ly/3HC36EH ► 👕 Merch: innercircle.petersantenello.com/collections/all

Being from a town like Alligator, MS, I'm glad I made it out. I read books to occupy the boredom of growing up in an improverished town. Graduated high school, graduated college, got a career, worked in corporate America for 10 years, moved to California, started and maintaining a smoothie business. I've always had to work twice as hard, but I made it, coming from a 37 year old black woman, I always believed I could despite my environment and basic resourcecs. Never give up!

I hope they get one. The hard part is according to the census data there was about 120 people living there. I think someone that could come in with a mom and pop style store would do better and have a little of everything like years ago. A dollar general would run them out of business if they set up a store. Corporate America has run a lot of these small towns down and it’s gonna take all the smaller families to bring them back with help of others

Born and raised in the Mississippi delta. Left 8 years ago to start a new life with my now wife in las vegas and started my business - Down4sound. I never knew that watching this video would make me emotional. I've been down every street / road you traveled in this video hundreds of times. I go back often to visit my parents in Greenville. Every time I visit I feel like I'm visiting another world or moment in time. To now be in the .1% financial bracket and to see the picture you painted / shared on where I came from made me have a deep realization. Anything is possible in this life through adapting / hard work / consistency. Thank you for making the video as a lot of people have no idea.

I'm a travel Nurse Practitioner I have been to this region many times and the medical care is horrible. Nobody, will take any assignments to this state due to poor facilities and people are not willing to lose their license because of poor facilties. Its sad to see Americans suffer from conditions that maybe solved with resources and health care. Alot of people in this region and the south in general are so nice and appreciative. It is a total appreciative feeling than in California which offer none of that. I love the South especially the family feeling they give you. Of course you have those ignorant people but that is everywhere. What an amazing video.

North Miss like th delta hospitals are having a ruff time and dont have alot of $ resources, but if you come further south, like to Hattiesburg, Ms where hospitals and clinics are booming and are known for great medical services here and on the Mississippi Gulfcoast, Biloxi, Gulfport, Ocean springs have some awesome hospitals.

Peter, I’m from South Carolina. My father worked in textile mills his whole life. He worked with mixing chemicals and dyes for cloth. He opposed NAFTA. He said it would wipe out textile and dependent companies. It did. That’s why so many small towns in the South have fallen into disrepair. No cotton being grown, no gin mills, no textile mills.

As a blues musician from France, I decided to leave my lil' country for the big continent where the blues is born, more precisely, Mississippi Delta. 10-y-ago, I stayed and travelled many states, especially the southeastern ones. I did my "chitlin' circuit" for the blues aficionados. Met so many nice ppl along my blue trip, specifically in the small towns or very small - like Alligator, MS. I know for sho Clarksdale!! I have the huge luck to jam with Big Jack Johnson & the Oilers at Red's juke joint. I met the legend Charlie Musselwhite and way more local blues guys like Daddy Rich, Razorblade, Super Chickan etc. I miss those open minded fellas here and there. As I know pretty much the black history and the blues culture and backgrounds, it was easier for me to be (very) welcomed. I've been widely appreciated for my will of discovery and my way to pay my tribute to some bluesmen/women who "educated" me their ways. What is doing Peter is absolutely great and very interesting! I think it's time for me to go back on this mighty land of Mississippi! Poor ppl have a great heart bc they know too much what is pain and going thru it. Y'all gotta realize the world legacy that is the Blues. And so many ways to play it in MS.!! THX Peter🤠Go visit folks! Take care!

That is so cool. I lived in the delta for a few years and it always struck me how Euopeans appreciated the delta. It was like a mystical magic place to them. Then everyone in the U.S. shits on this area and a lot of the people that live there think it sucks. Which is understandable. There are parts that are straight up 3rd world conditions. There is a special energy to the place though. I just hope the conditions there improve and people are able to live better lives one day. I actually had some musicians from france and switzerland play at my house once. They played didn't play blues, its was weird ambient noise stuff, but they were really blown away at all the history. Like all their favorite blues musicians were born like 30-45 minutes away. Lol a lot of rambling but I've just always loved how much europeans appreciated the history and vibes Did you every make your way to Cleveland?

I was actually born and raised in Greenville. As far as why the local economy crashed, back in the 1970s Greenville had a lot of industry downtown on the lakefront. Industry for building barges, painting ships, and hauling grain down the river. The port of Greenville was a big stopping place for barges coming up and down the river. When the Grain Embargo was enacted against the USSR in 1980, it caused grain prices to plummet. This had a devastating impact on the economy and a lot of those factors and shutdown, taking the jobs with them. People moved away when the jobs left and the town still hasn't recovered.

Peter, after the great Mississippi River flood in the 1920s, many of the sharecroppers (mostly black) moved (escaped) north to Detroit and Chicago and other cities. The land owners needed farm workers, so they put advertisements out all of the world to come and have a better life. A lot of Italians and Chinese came, thus you still see pockets of them in the Delta.

I adore the way you've shot it in so that you capture the wispy clouds and how the sky reflects the spaciousness of the locations you're visiting. I'm from Denmark myself and we see smaller, rural communities slowly deteriorate as well, however the country is small enough that you're never that far from a bigger town with jobs available. I'm not surprised rural communities in a country as vast as the USA are suffering, and I don't know if there's a good solution. Even if I'm a big supporter of giving more land back to nature, and that would kinda be a silver lining, I'm not sure the States is the country in most need of it.

I follow independent journalists on the internet, and you are absolutely the best at conveying the feelings of the American people! I’ve learned more about the American people by watching your channel one hour a week than any other journalist! Your series on the border situation is hands down the most informative source! So happy to see this channel grow & and inform people of the good, bad & encouraging ! Thank you Peter!

Peter~~~Thanks for the "RIDE" today and it was not only Fun, but also eye opening like ALL your video's! At 77 I can't travel anymore because of Health problems, and also my wife has Health problems, but with you I can sit in my chair and let YOU do all the DRIVING and WALKING around while I'm in the comfort of my chair! Thanks again for all you do for your followers and PLEASE keep up the great job. Wish I was in the position to be one of your "Member's" also, but retirement, for many of us, has it's limitations.

I hope sir if I make it to that age, that there will be options like Peters channel for me to enjoy the same as yourself. KZfaq must be a great source of entertainment for you and the wife.

It's so cool the hotel in Greenville got a shout out! Now they are known around the world! I loved Carrie's passion for her community! I also left my hometown for 17 years and moved back to teach in the same school district I went to as a kid!! Hometown pride for the win!!

I really appreciate your videos . I'm glad to be able to go along as you travel this great country. Someone from outside of the US can get a great sense of the diversity we have & the great expanse of the US. I'm sure you already know how fortunate you are to have the job that you have.

Really enjoying this new series Peter. I still find it baffling that you are one of the only KZfaqrs doing these small town America town videos who actually gets out of your vehicle & talks to the local residents to get real stories & views. Keep up the great documentaries. P.S. The Appalachia series is still my favorite so far.

I commented on your last video about my time living and working in southern Louisiana. I worked out of a small office in Convent , LA, up and down both sides of the Mississippi River between Baton Rouge and New Orleans. I worked as a home health care nurse. I met some amazing salt of the earth people that I still remember to this day. Really enjoying this series.
