Mountaintop Removal and the Fight for Coalfield Justice

Waitresses, coal miners, teachers, preachers, retirees, state officials, coal industry advocates, and legal experts detail the critical issues and unfolding story of how the demolition of mountain vistas has become commonplace in West Virginia.

"...a searing 90-minute documentary. ...mixes history, sociology, advocacy journalism, and personal portraits vividly..." Michael Yockel, Baltimore Magazine, May 2005.

A riveting and ultimately energizing documentary.... provides a thumbnail economic and political history of coal mining in the state, a textured portrait of Appalachian life and a convincing case for ending the environmental scourge of decapitating mountains...." Ann Hornaday, The Washington Post.

Burning the Future: Coal in America

Burning the Future: Coal in America is the story of an ancient rock that transformed a nation, using America's thirst for cheap energy to frame today's battle between the downtrodden residents of the coalfields of West Virginia and the industry that dominates a region and influences politics at the highest levels of government. It explodes with shocking images of the havoc wreaked on people. And it makes a heartfelt plea to the consumer to stand up and pay attention to the hidden costs of our cheap electricity.
