Mountaintop Removal | Toxic West Virginia
This is an amazing MUST WATCH video!
Meredith Danluck is a New York artist, director, and all-around amazing person who has a killer collection of power tools.
VBS bumped into her a few months ago and discovered that she has been working on a film in West Virginia, a sort of impressionistic account of the current environmental catastrophe in the Appalachian Mountains.
Mining companies are destroying entire mountains in order to get at the coal inside them. Quickly and efficiently, the oldest mountain range in the world is being systematically obliterated. We sent Meredith and VBS correspondent Derrick Beckles to the hills and hollers of West Virginia to show us what the end of the world looks like.
