Hard Coal: Last of the Bootleg Miners

Self-sufficient. Hard-working. Family-oriented. If these are qualities Americans profess to value, why is the government teaming with big business to demolish a centuries-old tradition of resource production that could help resolve the global energy crisis? No answer is adequate for the owners of 12 remaining anthracite coal mines in Pennsylvania. They struggle to survive in the face of irrelevant punishments levied against them by federal inspectors with a mission to shut them down. Hard Coal: Last of the Bootleg Miners introduces viewers to the fiercely proud and dedicated purveyors of this dying craft and exposes the dangerous hypocrisy waged on them by the very people charged with protecting their interests.
