Coal Country: A Documentary Play by Jessica Blank & Erik Jensen
Overview
Coal Country tells the true story of the Upper Big Branch mine disaster — the worst mining catastrophe in the United States in forty years. Through the words of the people who lived it —miners, family members and investigators— the play lays bare a system where profit was protected and lives were not.
This is not a distant story. It’s about labor, responsibility and the cost of looking the other way. It asks a simple, uncomfortable question: Who is accountable when safety becomes optional?
A portion of the proceeds benefits Centenary Community Ministries.
