"Blood on the Mountain" is unapologetic about its one-sided viewpoint: the lawyers, academics and miners interviewed are all pro-union. There may be good reason.

Rated: 3/4

A project that many history documentaries should aspire to, Blood on the Mountain has much to think about, learn from and never forget.

Rated: 4/4

The film may be one-sided, but if nothing else, it is a reminder that the "coal equals jobs" equation is a serious oversimplification.

Film Inquiry

Blood on the Mountain is not overly daring in its formal approach, but the story is so compelling that stylistic bells and whistles are not necessary.

A disorganized presentation hurts the worthy argument in this heart-rending documentary that chronicles the historically horrific treatment of West Virginia coal miners.

Unconvincingly tries to establish there is a growing constituency for change in the relationship between King Coal and West Virginians to protect health and the environment.

Rated: 5/10

You'll cry, then you'll laugh (out of the sheer ludicrousness of the iron grip King Coal has on the minds and hearts of West Virginians), then you'll cry a whole lot more yet feel oddly satisfied with the greater understanding of the WV political climate and public health landscape. 10/10
