Devil Put the Coal in the Ground
Coal gives you work, but it takes your life – is a life-long truth familiar to residents of doomed Appalachian Mountain towns where the plundering economy of energy corporations has led to environmental disaster and social collapse. A documentary from the heart of a dying America.
“Brilliant. Finely tailored. A subtle blend of pathos and urgency. DEVIL is such an honest film that it left me with hope, but also much sadness and anger. My hope is this anger can be channeled into action by people who can make change.”
