BEST OF THE FEST - PROGRAMMER’S PICK
”A masterfully conceptualized, deeply moving documentary that fearlessly and empathically dives into the complex entanglements between extraction, coal mining, the opioid epidemic, corporate greed, poverty, public health, and environmental degradations.
Codirectors Lucas Sabean and Peter Hutchinson’s DEVIL PUT COAL IN THE GROUND focuses on the people and lands of West Virginia. Its web-like structure and gorgeous, carefully hewn cinematography rejects the voices of outside experts and instead makes space for the voices and resilience of everyday people living through these multiple crises, a searing history from below.”
—Patricia Zimmermann, Director, Finger Lakes
- Runtime80 minutes
- DirectorPeter D. Hutchison, Lucas Sabean
