To Save the Land and People - S2 E6

Premiered On: 07/07/2003

A history of early grassroots efforts to stop strip mining in Eastern Kentucky, where broad-form deeds signed at the beginning of the 20th century let coal operators destroy land to get at the minerals underneath without getting the permission of, or compensating, the surface owner. The Appalachian group To Save the Land and People used every means possible - from legal petitions and local ordinances to guns and dynamite - to fight the abuses. A 2003 Production.

Stranger with a Camera - S2 E9

Premiered On: 07/28/2003

In 1967, Canadian filmmaker Hugh O'Connor visited the mountains of central Appalachia to document poverty. A local landlord who resented the presence of filmmakers on his property shot and killed O'Connor, in part because of his anger over the media images of Appalachia that had become icons in the nation's War on Poverty. Filmmaker Elizabeth Barret, a native of Appalachia, uses O'Connor's death as a lens to explore the complex relationship between those who make films to promote social change and the people whose lives are represented in such media productions. A 2003 Production.
