Topless America

For two years, the Topless America team worked to document the grassroots movement against mountaintop removal mining in Appalachia. Meet amazing individuals such as Maria Gunnoe, Teri Blanton, Larry Gibson, and Ed Wiley, who are willing to stand up, even against neighbors and family. Hear from accomplished politicians such as Representatives Danny Davis, Frank Pallone and Senator Dick Durbin. Witness the beauty of nature in the world's second most bio-diverse forests, and observe the horrible destruction of a now bald mountain. Learn about activism's role in today's government, greed - the cause of mountaintop removal, and the bravery to stand up against things we know to be wrong.
