A riveting and powerfully emotional look at the 2010 Upper Big Branch mine explosion that killed 29 men and tore apart families and communities. Based on first-person accounts of survivors and family members the play digs deep into the lives of those affected by the worst mining disaster in recent American history. A haunting telling of a tragedy that gives voice to those yet unheard, lays bare the deadly forces of greed and celebrates the enduring power of love.
