INDUSTRY TOWN NEWS, HOLLYWOOD – 1.6.11

March 30, 2011 will see a docu-reality TV series about coal miners, called Coal go to air. Miners are hot – but, in a world of recycling and electric cars, coal is not. The series showcases (yet agin) the true-blue American hero. Spike TV will feature it, by producer Thom Beers, about the lives of Appalachian coal miners.  Spike speculates “older and broader” male audiences will watch the show, rather than Spike’s target demographic of 18-34. Will you watch it?

Is this the future of democratic filmmaking?
