Yep watched it this afternoon. I stayed a month out near the Appalachian mountains a decade ago, it is full of small places like this, breathtaking beauty, but the mining industry destroying towns and lives. Pretty depressing, and not a place for someone of colour.
My eldest daughter has friends' in WV and on her first trip to see them she was taken to Kentucky for the weekend and on the way back her mate took to see the rural area's and she came home and was shocked that people living in the richest nation in the world were living in what she called shed's.
And it's not like she didn't know about the poverty in the U.S. as she's spent 2 year's living,working, and travelling the States with friend's.
It's beyond wrong,trillions of $'s fighting wars,yet poverty like that is allowed to decimate whole communities.That documentary about Detroit is another example of a community just left behind.I watched that when it came out and thought how can you leave a city to just fade away,but it happens and central government just looks the other way while the manufacturers are allowed to move their business to wherever it's cheapest to maximise the profits for an elite few.
