Pig Business investigates the rise of factory pig farming, a system which abuses animals, pollutes the environment, threatens human health through dangerous overuse of antibiotics, and wrecks rural communities.
Coal provides half of America's electricity, but at what cost? Though rhetoric about "clean coal" abounds, 36% of US global warming emissions comes from our coal-burning plants. Every 11-1/2 days, the explosive equivalent of the Hiroshima atomic bomb is unleashed upon the mountains of southern West Virginia and eastern Kentucky--for ... coal. In Burning the Future: Coal in America, writer/director David Novack examines the explosive forces that have set in motion a groundswell of conflict between the coal industry and residents of West Virginia. Faced with toxic ground water, the obliteration of 1.4 million acres of mountains, and a government that appeases industry, ordinary citizens launch a valiant fight to arouse the nation's help in protecting their mountains, saving their families and preserving their way of life. Burning the Future exposes the truth behind mountaintop coal extraction and offers tools for everyone to carve out a cleaner future. Directed by: David Novack, 1 hour 29 minutes, 2008.
