Throughout southern Appalachia Mountain Top Removal coal mining is on the rise blasting and leveling highland forests and streams. The process literally changes the geology of the region. Citizens negatively impacted by the resulting flooding, pollution, and destruction of their homes are fighting back to oppose big coals impact on their lives and communities. Mountain Top Removal is the winner of this year's Reel Current award at the Nashville Film Festival, The Indie Truth Award for Best Documentary at the 2007 Charlotte Film Festival, and was selected for a "Yubie" jury award from the 2008 Wild and Scenic Environmental Film Festival in Nevada City California.
