VS Goliath: Appalachia + Pre-film Art Show

Presented in partnership with the West Virginia Rivers Coalition.

Directed by Maggie Lemere, Sam Eilertsen, Nate Birnbaum

Deep in the hollers of the Blue Ridge Mountains construction of a monstrous fracked gas pipeline is tearing through mountaintops, forests, and streams, bearing down on rural communities across Appalachia.

Army Veteran Russell Chisholm swore an oath to protect and serve his country, and now, as the waters, forests, and way of life he calls home come under threat, he’s been called to defend his community from the domestic threat of the Mountain Valley Pipeline: A fracked gas pipeline which if ever completed would be a ticking time-bomb for Russell and his neighbors living in “the blast zone.”
