ATHENS -
Concord University will host a screening of a new public broadcasting documentary about the impacts of coal mining in Southern West Virginia.
"The Winding Gulf: Stories from West Virginia's Coalfields" takes an in-depth look at the impact of the coal industry in Southern West Virginia, focusing primarily on coal camp life in Raleigh and Wyoming Counties.
Concord University Communication Arts Instructor Jessica Lilly, a Wyoming County native, co-produced the documentary with acclaimed documentarian Russ Barbour, a Logan County native who now works with West Virginia PBS.
"One thing I've learned over the course of this production," said Barbour, "is that it takes more than growing up in coal country to fully appreciate coal mining and the culture surrounding it."
Concord will host screenings of the documentary at 7 p.m. on Tuesday, Feb. 28 and again at noon on Feb. 29. Both showings are free to the public and will take place in the Alexander Fine Arts Center's main auditorium at 1000 Vermillion Street in Athens.
"The Winding Gulf: Stories from West Virginia's Coalfields" premiers on PBS Sunday, March 4 at 8 p.m. DVD copies of the film will be available after the premier.
