I explored McDowell County, West Virginia that was once one of the most productive coal regions in the United States.
Nearly 100,000 people lived here. Entire towns existed because of one industry. Schools were full. Streets were alive. And for decades, this county helped power America’s growth.
Then the work disappeared.
This documentary explores what happened next — not through headlines or stereotypes, but through systems, decisions, and the people who stayed behind.
You’ll see:
• How coal built an entire way of life
• Why the collapse didn’t happen all at once
• How schools and healthcare were left behind
• How pain turned into policy problems
• What government programs tried to fix — and why survival replaced revival
• Why many residents believe politics played a role
• And why McDowell County is not unique, but a mirror of modern America
This is not a story about failure.
It’s about what happens when an economy disappears… and no replacement is ready.
