Devil Put the Coal in the Ground

Streaming video - 2021

DEVIL PUT THE COAL IN THE GROUND is a holistic look at the suffering and devastation brought on by the coal industry and its decline, and a cautionary tale of the ravages of extractive industry and corporate power, as it has affected the people, communities and the environment of West Virginia. Consciously eschewing exploitative filmmaking around the opioid epidemic or poverty, the film focuses on its people – all linked by the love of their home state and desire to stay put against all odds.
