A cinematic journey through the past, present, and future of Appalachia, KING COAL documents coal's cultural influence on identity while telling a magically real tale of a girl who glimpses into a future beyond coal, observing the pain and beauty of a community on the brink of change. At once playful and somber, KING COAL is a luminous meditation on place, industry, and cultural tradition through the eyes of a child.
