If it's September in North Carolina, it's time to harvest wild ginseng. The endangered plant is protected by federal law, thus procuring it to produce adaptogenic herbs is heavily regulated. "Smoky Mountain Money" follows the trails of teams who forage for the valuable root. Those folks come from long lines of "Sengers" who respect the resource -- picking only some of the growth to allow the crop to continue to thrive and provide income for future generations. Competition is fierce and territorial for the man-shaped root worth $10,000 on the Asian market.
