Burning The Future: Coal in America - Trailer from Odessa Films on Vimeo.


The online synopsis says:

Burning the Future: Coal in America examines the explosive conflict between the coal industry and residents of West Virginia. Confronted by emerging “clean coal” energy policies, local activists watch a world blind to the devastation caused by coal's extraction. Faced with toxic ground water and the obliteration of 1.4 million acres of mountains, our heroes launch a valiant fight to arouse the nation's help in protecting their mountains, saving their families, and preserving their way of life.

Before the main feature there will be a short video about long-wall mining, which is currently effecting Illinois.

Attendees will have the opportunity to sign an open letter to John Shimkus letting him know that his extremist statements about global warming don't represent us. If you haven't heard his comments read about them here and here.

People need to let Shimkus know that knowledgeable is not a word genuinely intelligent people would ever use to describe him!
