About WELCOME to COALWOOD

I finished the film in 2009, four years (and seven trips to Coalwood) after I first visited this small coal mining town in West Virginia with a group of teachers from Minneapolis. Coalwood, West Virginia is the home town of Homer Hickam, who wrote the book "Rocket Boys" which was made into the movie called "October Sky" in 1999.

My film tells the history of Coalwood (including appearances by the original Rocket Boys) and shows what life is like there today. Residents and people with a connection to Coalwood tell its bittersweet story. It’s been well-received by the people of West Virginia an by those interested in small town and mining area history. It’s been shown many times on West Virginia PBS.
