About this movie

From the Ashes explores the experiences of Americans in communities across the country as they wrestle with the legacy of the coal industry, and what its future should be. From Appalachia to the Powder River Basin, the film goes beyond the rhetoric of the “war on coal” to present compelling and often heartbreaking stories about what is at stake for our economy, health, and climate.

Ratings and reviews

The perfect movie for a project I'm working on. I feel like it tries to give multple-sides and points of view. It is very up-to-date and left-leaning. Although I believe they truly want to show reasoning and want all people to see the problems, not just for people who already believe we need change.

Sometimes the truth hurts. Many workers are in denial.
