“Using no grants or donations, B. J. Gudmundsson has created her
finest film about the effects of mountaintop removal mining on her
beloved West Virginia. I really enjoyed seeing her interviews with great
West Virginians like George Daugherty, Julian Martin, Jim Foster, Mary
Miller, Pauline Canterberry, Ed Wiley, Robert Gates and well-known
activists Larry Gibson, Maria Gunnoe and Judy Bonds. This film…shows that the people of
WV have the great intelligence and strength to stand up to the coal
industry.” Read Full Review
