Though coal might seem like an ecological and economical bargain compared to oil, this documentary from director David Novack proves this can be a fatal choice. BURNING THE FUTURE: COAL IN AMERICA examines life in West Virginia, where the process of coal extraction puts toxins into the water and destroys more than a million acres of mountains. Novack's film shows these harmful effects, as well as the efforts of locals to bring their plight to the world's attention.
