Summary
This documentary profiles inspiring individuals who are building a new future in the coalfields of eastern Kentucky and South Wales. Viewers meet ex-miners using theater to rebuild community infrastructure, women transforming a former coal board office into a hub for education and enterprise, and young people striving to stay in their home communities. The stories of coalfield residents who must abandon traditional livelihoods bring viewers to the front lines of the transition from fossil fuels..
