American Juggalo 2 is a thought-provoking documentary that delves into the subculture of Juggalos, a group of fans of the band Insane Clown Posse. The film introduces us to Alexander “Less Legs” Perkins, an African-American Juggalo from rural Pennsylvania who lost both of his legs to a train accident. Despite this tragic event, Perkins credits the accident with saving him from a life of crime, jail, or worse.
The film explores the unique community that Juggalos have created and the way that their shared love of Insane Clown Posse has brought them together. It provides a deeper understanding of the subculture and the individuals who make up the community. Perkins’ story is particularly compelling, as his struggles and triumphs provide a window into the resilience and determination of Juggalos.
The documentary is directed by Sean Dunne, who has a long-time fascination with subcultures, and it captures the Juggalos in a way that is both sensitive and honest. The film manages to capture the spirit of the Juggalo community and how they support each other through their shared love of the band. The film’s pacing and storytelling keep the audience engaged throughout.
One of the most interesting aspects of the documentary is the way it exposes the bias and prejudice that Juggalos face from society at large. The film is a powerful reminder that subcultures are often misunderstood and that it is important to listen to and learn from those who may be different from us.
Overall American Juggalo 2 is a must-see for anyone interested in subcultures, music, and human resilience.
