A film about the impact of coal mining on communities
Monday, January 18, 7 pm, Fanny Bay Hall – Admission by donation.
This multi-award winning documentary examines the conflict between the coal industry and residents of West Virginia. Faced with toxic ground water, the obliteration of 1.4 million acres of mountains, and a government that appeases industry, the residents launch a fight to arouse the nation’s help in protecting their mountains, saving their families and preserving their way of life. This film is a primer for communities who want to know more about the effects of coal mining.
