"THE LAST MOUNTAIN"
In the valleys of Appalachia, a battle is being fought over a mountain. It is a battle with severe consequences that affect all of us, regardless of our social status, economic background or where we live. It is a battle that has taken many lives and continues to do so the longer it is waged. It is a battle over protecting our health and environment from the destructive power of Big Coal.
The mining and burning of coal is at the epicenter of America’s struggle to balance its energy needs with environmental concerns. Nowhere is that concern greater than in Coal River Valley, West Virginia, where a small but passionate group of ordinary citizens are trying to stop Big Coal... corporations, like Massey Energy, from continuing the devastating practice of Mountain Top Removal.
Written, directed and produced by Bill Haney, an award-winning documentary filmmaker and founder and president of the eco-housing start-up, Blu Homes, THE LAST MOUNTAIN was co-written and edited by Peter Rhodes and produced by Clara Bingham and Eric Grunebaum.
