The Last Mountain

2011 FESTIVAL
95 min.
Filmmaker: Bill Haney.
In the valleys of Appalachia, a battle is being fought over a mountain. It is a battle that has taken many lives and continues to do so. It is a battle over protecting our health and environment from the destructive power of Big Coal. The mining and burning of coal is at the epicenter of America’s struggle to balance its energy needs with environmental concerns. Nowhere is that concern greater than in Coal River Valley, West Virginia, where a small but passionate group of ordinary citizens are trying to stop Big Coal corporations from continuing the devastating practice of Mountain Top Removal.
