Still Life

In 2014, a national news-worthy chemical dump threatened to reduce West Virginia’s proud capital to its newest ghost town, but to those who know the Coal Fields, this headline-fetching spill was just a drop in the bucket; poisoned water has flowed throughout their lives. With a chemical mystery in the water and industrial greed in the air, has this land already died, or is there Still Life? Filmmaker Johnny Saint Ours carries home a message in a bottle from this reclusive realm, having witnessed their quiet struggle as common ground in our industrial world. Discussion with director Johnny Saint Ours and producer Nana Ghana, moderated by Vivian Thomson (UVA)
