Coal Country Documentary Exposes Environmental Tragedy

Coal Country, a documentary about the battle fought over coal mining in Appalachia, exposes the environmental tragedy and social conflicts that have arisen from mining coal.  The Sierra Club is heavily promoting the film by sending out 45-minute promotional videos, promoting their own agenda to rid the US of its reliance on coal.  Check out the trailer below, then look for the premiere on Planet Green November 14th at 8:00pm EST.
