Mountain Dust
In the midst of quarrying in the mountains of her city, Jessy, a young domestic worker, witnesses the scope of the economic forces that are destroying her family's health.
Devil Put the Coal in the Ground
Uniquely structured upon the personal storytelling of native West Virginians, this film is a meditation on the suffering and devastation brought on by the coal industry and it’s decline. From the realities of a crumbling economy, to the ravages of the opioid epidemic, to the irreparable environmental damage and its tragic impact on human health – the film is a cautionary tale of unfettered corporate power, and an elegy to a vanishing Appalachia.

Bare Metal
How much faster could we decarbonize the modern world, if the largest companies on the planet and the companies who literally change the face of the earth worked together?
Closed captions available
Stop Pebble Mine
The little-known Pebble Mine project is one of the most significant threats to wildlife and native Alaskan communities.
Is This Our Land?
Public lands are auctioned off for damaging private use and fossil fuel extraction. As Americans, should we feel a civic duty to understand the system and protect our great natural lands?
