This is a beautiful video. Thanks for sharing this information. I am so grateful that the light is starting to shine on the difficulty of those having few options. -

Evoked many emotions—anger at the greed of fossil fuel companies who exploit our planet and human lives. Inspiration at the indomitable spirit of these brave people. Anger at a god, if there is one, who would then allow such injustice, then floods to destroy so much, including the organization that was bringing hope to the despairing. I’ll be sending them a donation. -

Beautiful and tragic=== the love of their land, history, their 'tribe' is powerfully revealed to those of us who never think about the coal miners. I have a PhD from a 1st class university. I've garnered scholarships, fellowships, honors ---but this film showed me how ignorant--even petty- I am. I will donate to the Truoblesome Creek Stringed Instrument Co. Thank you so much! -

My family is from southwest Virginia, and I was born there. Both sides of my family hated the mines and what they did to the land and the communities. Although my family members loved the region eventually most of them had to leave in order to make a livng. Thanks for this video! -

Such a powerful film. Having spent much of my childhood next door in West Virginia where my dad worked in the coal mines adds a personal layer of meaning. May help come to the Troublesome Creek Stringed Instrument Co. so that they can rebuild and continue their inspiring work, and to all those who have been harmed.
