Underreported: The Mining Way of Life

Thursday, February 23, 2006

What is life for today's miners? On today’s edition of Underreported, we’ll take an in-depth look at the cultures behind two different mining communities. We’ll talk to Ken Light, co-author of Coal Hollow, about the four years he spent photographing and interviewing miners in West Virgina. And Kief Davidson tells us about his experiences documenting the lives of two young brothers in the silver mines of Cerro Rico, Bolivia for his film “The Devil’s Miner.”
