A documentary about an evangelical rural Republican made by a New York City Democrat. After his conversation with Hillary Clinton goes viral and makes him one of the faces of the 2016 election, unemployed coal miner Bo Copley runs for the Republican nomination for U.S. Senate in West Virginia. As his long-shot campaign continues, Copley fights not only to pull off a monumental upset, but also to validate his own sense of self worth after two years of unemployment.

Copley is a likable, reasonable man who wishes to do right by his community and state. Even when the movie lacks urgency, he keeps viewers somewhat engaged. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

07/28/2021 I HAVE RATED THIS BO THE COAL MINER CAMPAIGN TRAILER -OBVIOUSLY IT'S NOT WHAT HILLARY OR RED JOE WANTS POSTED SOOOOOO IT WASN'T POSTED- STILL I HALE GOD BLESS AMERICA🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸 See more mary w 10/12/2020 The beauty of The Campaign of Miner Bo is not just the gorgeously filmed West Virginia landscapes, but its ability to make me feel like politics can be noble. While I would find myself on the opposite end of the political spectrum than Bo Copley, I had profound respect for his reasons for going into politics and the manner in which he conducted his campaign. I rooted for him. He reminded me of a conservative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. The optimist in me would love to see more people like them in elected office. They may be able to accomplish something great together, and may be just the people we need to bridge that divide. See more Read all reviews
