LGM Film Club, Part 162: Strip Mining Tennessee
By 
Today’s film is this 1974 British documentary on the horrors of strip mining for coal in Appalachia. Good thing we’ve learned so, so much in the last 47 years that I’ve been alive. The film is focused on a British firm responsible for some of this in Tennessee and the fight against it. It’s really quite good, a fine vision of the state of capitalism and the environment in the 1970s. Useful for teaching for many of you.
