Maria Gunnoe a multi-generational Appalachian becomes an activist for her community.
Her story and that of her family and neighbors will never be forgotten after you watch
this film.

There's a scene where they travel to NYC for the first time and stand in the middle of
Times Square at night in shock at all the lights. They reflect on what their communities have
sacrificed for the obscene use of electricity. These beautiful, salt of the earth people have all been
forgotten. Thanks for posting this.
