The Real Cost of Coal
The Real Cost of Coal
Swiftwater Media partnered with Amy Garland and the Blessings Project to produce The Keeper of the Mountains, Larry Gibson. Larry was one of the first people to fight against our nation’s dependence on coal and mountain top removal coal mining. It was tragic to stand on the top of a mountain that was his family’s homestead and see the devastation that surrounds it. Larry passed away from a heart attack in 2012. He was still defending his ancestral home. This is the trailer for that project.
