You are invited to a special sneak preview screening of “Coal Country”, a documentary produced by the Sierra Club detailing the alarming social and environmental impacts of coal mining in the Appalachian Mountains.
Videographer Jordan Freeman will join us for a Q & A session following the film.
This film, by Mari-Lynn ...Evans and Phylis Geller, documents the lives and conflicts of towns affected by coal mining, addressing the key role this industry has played in the history of many American towns, and the feasibility of moving to clean energy. Check out the preview here: http://www.coalcountrythemovie.com/trail
The showing of this film is organized by the Sierra Club Coal-Free Campus Campaign at UNC-Chapel Hill. For more information about our campaign, contact Laura Stevens at
