Jelenetfotó 3.3“Coal, Earth, Home” is about what "home" means to a group of villagers who may lose their 750 year old hometown, Heuersdorf in the former East Germany. The village is located on the edge of an open pit brown coal mine in the heart of the Central German mining region. Since the fall of the Wall, the brown coal mining industry has shrunk considerably, yet with new U.S. American investors, the mining company has become a saavy multinational corporation trying to uphold what little mining remains. The mining company proclaims the need for the expansion of its mine to fuel a new brown coal power plant, but the village is in the way and has to be demolished. Most villlagers do not want to leave. They are disillusioned with the new capitalist system where corporations work with the government to try to control their lives. The environmental and human costs of energy production become very evident through this dilemna. Interviews with townspeople, speeches by top politicians and images of the quaint town contrasted by colossal mining machinery portray a conflict of economics, resources, politics and the individual person common to the world over in the face of "progress".
