The film starts at 6:30 pm followed by a short discussion with Lenny Kohm, Campaign coordinator of Appalachian Voices (http://www.appvoices.org/) Lenny Kohm speaks tirelessly in defense of Appalachian mountains. As the recent disaster in Tennessee reminds us - there is no such thing as clean coal. Come see the film and discuss the important issue of mountain top removal with an expert.
This film charts the escalating drama in Appalachia over the alarming increase in large mountaintop coal mines. These mammoth operations have covered 1200 miles of headwater streams with mining waste; demolished thousands of acres of hardwood forest; and flattened hundreds of Appalachian mountain peaks. Directed by Catherine Pancake.
