american-78331 Review of Hillbilly

Hillbilly (II) (2018)

The Destruction of Lives, the Environment and Hollowing out America

[10/10 · 27 April 2023]

I read some of the reviews of people calling this a left wing trope and this documentary could be nothing further from the that perspective. The corporations came in to do one thing, make themselves wealthy and exploit the local population for their labor. It's the same game wherever you are. The miners were in the worse possible working conditions risking their lives to support their families. The land is stripped mined, and the resulting poison and pollution and flooding of the land is reprehensible. It's a shame what is happening here and the country in general. There are two job opportunities in the region, Coal Mines and Walmart. Good God.
