A look at coal mining from the inside...
“Blood on the Mountain” is a documentary that spotlights the long-term impacts of coal mining on the American public and the planet. Over the course of many years, the coal industry has transformed the development of coal. The need for both coal and labor has placed a massive burden on many people including the workers and the Appalachian area. The movie delivers a dramatic portrait of a divided population, exploited and besieged by corporate interests. It details the struggles of a hard-working, often misunderstood people who have historically faced limited choices and have never benefited fairly from the rich natural resources of their land.<br /><br />Directors Mari-Lynn Evans and Jordan Freeman look at a dying business through archival clips, news footage, newspaper headlines and interviews, which tell a tale of both aggressive capitalism and company towns and hard-fought unionizing that have given way to environmentally devastated land, poverty, and health issues. The film chronicles 150 years’ worth of disaster Big Coal was wreaked on the land — explosions, floods that washed away entire communities, accidents resulting in permanent damage, black lung, corrupt government officials, corrupt companies, and loss of pensions when companies folded. The movie also covers a recent situation in Charleston, West Virginia in which a chemical company contaminated its drinking water.<br /><br />This is the kind of documentary that has the drama of a suspense thriller as revelation upon revelation build to illustrate how thoughtlessly the coal companies treat their workers, placing profits ahead of safety. It crystallizes the plight of the West Virginia workers, which most of us outside the state might know only from brief news items when an especially horrendous accident occurs. The movie stresses that industrial accidents have become part of the job for coal workers, and makes the sad comment that the workers have been abandoned by the elected officials who should be looking out for their welfare.<br /><br />There are no bonus features on the unrated widescreen DVD.
