NASHVILLE, Tenn. – A one-night film festival Thursday night will present two documentaries about mountaintop removal coal mining.
“Coal Country” and “Deep Down” will be shown at the Belcourt Theater, followed by a round-table discussion featuring country music singer Kathy Mattea (muh-TAYE-uh) and author Silas House.
The event, called “movies save mountains,” is sponsored by the Natural Resources Defense Council.
Activists Terry Ratliff and Judy Bonds, who appear in the documentaries, also are to participate in the round-table discussion.
