Chuck Nelson, a third-generation coal miner, reflects on the industry that built and destroyed his life.


"Beyond the drivel of any Hillbilly Elegy and its grotesque depictions of Appalachia, The Both of Me allows Nelson to deliver a raw coal miner's elegy in 18 minutes--informative, astonishing, and gripping minutes that go to the source of truth and reckoning." - Jeff Biggers, COMMONDREAMS
