"Coal Blooded" by Brandon Davis Media
A documentary short on the community impacts of the coal terminal in Southeast Newport News, Virginia. The 200-acre coal pile is located right next to a redlined neighborhood that today has the highest rate of asthma in the city.
In 3 months, this video went from an idea to reality. With interview testimonials from Mayor McKinley Price, Dr. Johnny Finn (CNU Professor), Asa Townsend (CNU Alum), and Angela Harris (Social Activist). I have learned so much about the environment I live in as well as my passion for documentary filmmaking. After watching, I hope you understand some of the harmful practices that affect this city and take action to learn more.
