They did some bad things to the land out here. Some very bad things. And She came back swinging.

  • Where can I watch/ download this movie online? I'm not going to buy a DVD but I am interested in the topic/issue. Thanks.

  • @vod434 It will be on iTunes within the next two months. If you go to our website, tarcreekfilm(dot)com, you can also see a list of our upcoming screenings in case you are near to any of them.

  • What's the name of the company that owned that mine?

  • @Vamp1963 There are DVDs that you can buy from the site: tarcreekfilm(dot)com, and there have been 60 or more screenings across the country over the last year. It will be available on itunes soon.

    There were close to 800 mining companies that operated at Tar Creek. Some of the big ones were ASARCO, Blue Tee, and Eagle Picher.

see all

  • My family owned some of the mineral rights, the Beavers were Quapaw Indians and we got rich from it so as a nephew of the owner I feel as if we Quapaws sold our souls in some way for this mining while the government ripped the land from us.......................

  • Hi, My name is John Dial and I'm from Picher, Oklahoma. Picher was my home and now when I want to go home I can't because it's not there anymore...When my friends and I were growing up we played on the chat piles ( the mountains of gravel left from the mines ) we swam and fished in the water. No one told us it wasn't safe and to us it was just having fun like and kids in any town in the USA. We all know too well now how bad it was and still is, but we will always love and miss our little town.

  • I tried to order this DVD at the site and I don't think the charges ever appeared on my credit card? but I never received the DVD either?

  • Alright, so I'm almost 1500 miles away from Picher, OK and I'm still very interested in watching Tar Creek. I have no vested in the land, but the topic seems very important to me as an American. Why is this documentary not posted on a site where i can download the torrent for free?? It almost seems that the videographer/ author feels like it's more important to get paid than to expose the American indecency known as Picher, OK, and it becoming a ghost town.

  • thanks andrea haha!! nice movie..just watched this in webmovietube

  • Sad not everyone can watch this... By making the film hard to access you're not helping the cause :-(
