Fighting Goliath: Texas Coal Wars

Narrated by Robert Redford. A film by Mat Hames and George Sledge

“This 30 minute documentary is ideal for an event followed by a panel discussion. We presented it to a theater audience of nearly 2,000 and there were several standing ovations. It's a moving story about people, the environment, and what you can do.”

— Randall Morton
President, The Progressive Forum, Houston
