The West Virginia State Premier of “Blood On The Mountain” will be held at the West Virginia State Cultural Center Theater at the Capital Complex in Charleston on September 4, 2015 at 7:00PM.

This event celebrates the release of the award-winning new documentary feature film from Evening Star Productions.

From the Producers of “The Appalachians” and “Coal Country”, “Blood On The Mountain” is a searing investigation into the economic and environmental injustices resulting from corporate control in West Virginia and the ripple effect on all American workers.

The film details the struggles of a people who have historically faced limited choices and have never fairly benefited from the rich, natural resources of their land.  The film presents a striking portrait of a culture exploited and besieged by corporate interests and abandoned by their elected representatives.

“Blood On The Mountain” serves to foster national and grassroots collaboration between many outreach partners fighting for the protection of Appalachia’s natural resources, environment, and workers.  The history of our human struggle shows that complacency leads to exploitation and that we must all ever be on guard to protect our rights.

“Blood On The Mountain” arrives at a critical moment in our history when coal reserves and jobs are in rapid decline and state and federal policymakers are tasked with charting the way forward to a sustainable future.  Appalachians can no longer wait for the socio-economic justice we deserve.

“Blood On The Mountain”  is a ‘WVIFF Official Selection and Screening’ and co-hosted by our national outreach partners, The AFL-CIO and The Sierra Club West Virginia Chapter.
