Blood on the Mountain is a searing investigation into the economic and environmental injustices resulting from coal company control in West Virginia. The documentary brings a striking portrait of a fractured population, exploited and besieged by corporate interests, and like so many workers in this country, abandoned by the powers elected to represent them. The film is produced by Mari-Lynn Evans and Jordan Freeman. The film will air on Netflix in May, 2017.
