Running for the Mountains uncovers a story of dirty money and dirty politics – one that affects the entire nation. This entertaining and informative documentary exports the most valuable commodity coming out of Appalachia: the raw truth.
The movie tells a cautionary tale of the rough and tumble politics and reckless policies that dominate West Virginia and are now being exported to the rest of the nation.
