We watched the film this evening and were mesmerized.  The voices of those West Virginians spoke so forcefully and clearly.  What a powerful film!

 

From Brooklyn, New York

 

It was a great film and it brought a coupla tears to my eyes when I say how crucial the Mountain Keepers Music Festival that I coordinated was to the making of that film. It's pretty amazing when you really do see yourself as an important part of something big and something moving and something powerful.
