★★★ · I want coal, you want coal, we all want coal. · Spuzz · 2013-09-02
Somewhat meandering film about the production of coal. We start out with a pretty good history about how coal came to be, and then we get the modern ways of taking the coal out of the ground, mines! Millions of em! Strip the earth! It's ok, sort of dull towards the end. Love the title.
