Welcome to Coalwood (trailer)

New documentary film about Coalwood, West Virginia, home town of Homer Hickam and the Rocket Boys who were featured in the 1999 film, "October Sky". My film tells the story of this small coal-mining town -- yesterday and today. You'll visit the October Sky Festival and hear the story of the town from those who've lived there.

This looks great. By the way Steve, my name is Hannah Berg and I'm not sure if you remember my family but my sister, Julia Berg, was in your class at Windom many years ago. Can't wait to see this!!

Hi Hannah, Of course I remember you! Say Hi to your mom and dad for me. Come to the screening at the Parkway on the 12th if you can. Great to hear from you.
