ABOUT THE FILM
This award-winning documentary from Act Out's Eleanor Goldfield takes you into the often forgotten hills and hollers of West Virginia, where a radical past inspires a resilient present and builds towards a better future. More than a microcosm of capitalist oppression and corruption, West Virginia stands as an example of radical resolve - in the face of dying King Coal and rising King Fracking.
It's a Hard Road of Hope, a pot-holed, precarious, and puddled path past the Kings of coal and gas, but they keep walking. We would do well to walk with them for a while – and listen.
