Film maker to speak Oct. 29
Mary Wood Weldon Memorial Library received an Al Smith Fellowship grant from the Kentucky Arts Council and has invited Mimi Pickering, documentary filmmaker and director of Appalshop’s Community Media Initiative to our library on Oct. 29 at 6 p.m.
“The Buffalo Creek Flood: An Act of Man,” is a documentary of the Feb. 26, 1972 catastrophe when a coal-waste dam owned by the Pittston Company collapsed at the head of a crowded hollow in southern West Virginia. A wall of sludge, debris, and water tore through the valley below, leaving in its wake 125 dead and 4,000 homeless.
Pickering interviewed survivors, representatives of union and citizens groups and officials of the Pittston Company.
After viewing the film, Mimi Pickering will be on hand for a discussion.
