About the Program
In the wake of the West Virgina mine explosion that killed 25, Book TV takes a look back at Kentucky activists and their movement against mountaintop removal mining. The authors tell stories of the generations-long fight to prevent what they call the destruction of their land and way of life for the sake of the coal industry.
