Hiwwe wie Driwwe - Pfälzisch in Amerika

Two filmmakers from the Palatinate looked for them and found them – the relatives in America. Around 400.000 people live there and not only speak an old form of the Palatine dialect, Pennsylvania (PA) Dutch, but also follow other Palatine habits such as eating pig stomach or hunting Elwetritsche. One of them is the Pennsylvanian-born author and musician Douglas “Doug” Madenford. In the film he explores traditions of Palatine culture “hiwwe wie driwwe”, here in Germany and there in the USA.
