Collateral Damage: Forgotten Casualties of the Left’s War on Coal

Several months ago, Media Research Center TV sent a camera crew to the southern counties of West Virginia to document the impact of EPA regulations on communities that have historically relied on the coal industry for their livelihood. What the team found was devastating.

The effect of shuttered coal mines and the loss of thousands of coal jobs has trickled down into nearly every facet of these communities – crippling local businesses, destroying housing markets, and forcing desperate families from their homes. Thousands are without work, while still thousands more live under the constant threat of job loss and economic ruin. Local charities struggle to meet the needs of their communities. While the media are focusing on macro issues like “climate change,” hardworking Americans are left to wonder how they will keep food on the table and lights on in houses they’re struggling to keep.

Through up-close footage and a compelling series of brutally honest interviews, Collateral Damage exposes in stark detail the real, human impact of President Barack Obama’s promised and delivered assault on the coal industry, and on the hardworking American families of Appalachia.

This is a real story about real people.
