 population soars, humankind must keep digging deeper and deeper down for 
 the earth’s natural resources to feed our voracious appetite for energy 
 — fighting wars over diminishing supplies of water, oil, and coal.  But 
 it’s not only the earth itself that is rapidly changing and disappearing: 
  as we excavate resources in ever-expanding areas, small communities are 
 being flattened, taking with them our world’s diverse cultures, 
 traditions, and lives.  In this excellent film, the stories of Beverly May 
 and Terry Ratliff reveal the devastating impact of our energy consumption 
 against an explosive backdrop:  Appalachia’s centuries-old struggle over 
 the black rock that fuels our planet.  Beverly and Terry grew up like kin 
 on opposite sides of a mountain ridge in eastern Kentucky.  Now in their 
 50s, the two find themselves in the midst of a debate dividing their 
 community and the world:  who controls, consumes, and benefits from our 
 planet’s shrinking supply of natural resources?  While Beverly organizes 
 her neighbors to stop a coal mining company from advancing into her hollow, 
 Terry considers signing away the mining rights to his backyard — a 
 decision that could destroy both of their homes.  Their once-peaceful 
 mountain community of Maytown finds itself in the center of a contentious 
 battle over energy and the wealth and environmental destruction it 
 represents.\n\nWheelchair accessible around the corner at  411  28th  
 Street\n\n$5 donations are accepted\n
