BLOOD ON THE MOUNTAIN

The brand new American film 'Blood on the Mountain' features the music of Piiptsjilling and Machinefabriek. The film is a searing investigation into the economic and environmental injustices that have resulted from industrial control in West Virginia. This new feature documentary details the struggles of a hard-working, misunderstood people, who have historically faced limited choices and have never benefited fairly from the rich, natural resources of their land. Blood On The Mountain delivers a striking portrait of a fractured population, exploited and besieged by corporate interests, and abandoned by the powers elected to represent them. Directed by Mari-Lynn Evans and Jordan Freeman. Producers: Deborah Wallace, Mari-Lynn Evans, Jordan Freeman. Keep an eye and an ear on this documentary!
