Director: Phyllis Gellar.
The director of The Appalachians, brings us an inside look at the modern coal mining technique known as mountain top removal (MTR). Both sides in this conflict claim that history is on their side. Families have lived in the region for generations and most have ancestors who worked in the mines. Everyone shares a deep love for the land, but MTR is tearing them apart.
