King Coal offers humanizing look at industrial communities in decline

The Lindsay and Documentary Week are featured in this story about filmmaker Elaine McMillion Sheldon’s documentary King Coal, a film that focuses on the people who still live in the regions where coal was king and try to carve out a living there. It notes that the film was shot in coal communities across the United States, with some of the footage captured in and around Pittsburgh and in the Laurel Highlands, and adds that audiences can catch King Coal at The Lindsay Theater at various dates and times from Sept. 1-14.
