Brian Lowry CNN.com From the Ashes is both timely and squarely focused on the challenges at hand.

Jun 1, 2017 Full Review Sheri Linden Los Angeles Times There's nothing particularly cinematic about the well-crafted film, but it's a compelling piece of advocacy journalism, one that looks beyond the sloganeering on all sides of the debate.

Walter T From the Ashes should be required watching in Washington DC and in coal country. Surprisingly balanced, it paints a realistic picture of a world rapidly moving away from coal as an energy source and its devastating impact on jobs. The politics of coal dominates America and our ability to solve this has profound impact on literally millions of families directly or indirectly impacted by this industry. Go see it.
