Running for the Mountains, uncovers a story of dirty money and dirty politics -- one that affects the entire nation. This entertaining and informative documentary exports the most valuable commodity coming out of Appalachia: the truth. The movie tells a cautionary tale of the rough and tumble politics and reckless policies that dominate West Virginia. Transcending party lines, the filmmakers' 15-year investigation unveils a web of influence, linking extraction industries with West Virginia's politicians like Sen. Joe Manchin, who wield immense control over the energy policies of the nation for personal profit, all the while, risking the water and air of his constituents. Using a blend of history, current affairs, and cinema verité, "Running for the Mountains" questions West Virginia's saga of patriotic sacrifice, while delivering surprising undercover scenes that make clear who their politicians are working for and who really pays the cost.
