28:26 what a character, straight out of a book.

46:17 -"We're getting sick & tired of you. And you better believe it. Because we don't like the way you're dressed. We don't like your fuzzy damn faces. We don't like your boots. We don't like no part of it."

Corporate greed then, corporate greed now.

Think some of them died since

Hi she said ssi never came around they don’t u have to go to the office

Some 40 years prior. There were over 1 million Negros farming, Negro farmers had 14 million square acres of farmland, yet lost it all in the 1930s due to Immigration and Mechanized farming... As you watch this video, let this above documented fact sink in your mind.

I‘m really sorry that all of that is still utopia.

What happened to these people's heritage? ❤well I will give ya suggestion: oBum, Trump., two headed snake with a hurricane with gully gushers,. TORNADO tailwind the keep it going. With bum, migrants that steal an tare down, with Trump mining frack I ng and hi Er Rent.....here we go 2025 .... who zz at the helm???

greed greed and more greed that's all it is.

"poverty is a state of mind"

"white privilege"

Hard life,hard working and nobody was overweight 🤕

I grew up in Big Stone Gap Virginia a very small coal mining town shut down and the machinery did the work.. I was in a trailer of the month sometime when I was 11 years old in 1971 I loved growing up in Big Stone Gap yes I moved away to California in 1981 and I've lived in California since wish I could have stayed I missed out on so much but I love that little town even to this day..thx for the video 😊

Dirt poor but still buy tobacco. SMH

Taking the resources and making billions in profit while refusing to pay taxes to give back to the counties it was taken from then telling those counties they should be grateful their companies are even there is...wow. "If we are wrong in mining coal in Eastern Kentucky, and if we are wrong in what is going on in the Appalachian area as far as industry is concerned, I feel like this whole country is based on the wrong pilosophy..." yeah dude, now you're starting to get it LOL

Yummmmm❤

That man was 38 years old, and he appeared to be older than that. Hard living.

The government stepped in and destroyed these communities

The dad, wearing his best suit to look presentable for a film, dug coal by hand. Talk about a prideful man, smashed and forced down by the system! Yet? He did his best and looked his best for a camera It breaks my heart!! 😢😢 Any updates on these people? Much love from northern Indiana ❤️

The US goes to other countries also with rich lands with poor people and strips them of their resources and leaves their land desolate 🥹 oh the evil that money produces everywhere

Is that Iree Bowling from American Hollow @7:35?

What I take away from this documentary, is, the government got rich from the poor people, and it's still that way. Government taking what poor people have, So sad

Unbelievable that in America these REAL Americans could be living so poorly while we have open borders to have illegals come pouring in and getting assistance. It is sooo wrong it Irates me. And you are telling me that there is WHITE PRIVILAGE ? What kind of an idiot says that ?

I couldn't help to notice how much Mr. Frank Collins looks Native American.❤ I wanna know about that stove. What was he doing? How do you take care of it?

That dude needs some chickens and a milkin cow

The things I would do for that dummy book of WTWTA!

To put this feel good piece into perspective it should be noted that it was produced by the USIA and was intended to be only shown outside the U.S. as they made propaganda, print and film, to be distributed to the Soviet Union and Eastern Europe. The Soviet Union made feel good pieces to be shown here also. Work from this U.S. agency could not by lae be seen in the United States. Thus we have scenes of bountiful fields and such. What I want to know is who is the "student" and how did her work turn out? Or was she just a nice looking prop for the fim makers. Surely working with Weston would have been a great career booster.

A good film

Yummmmm. Thanks for sharing. Having a spinach salad now

brilliant ...

18:15-19:00 If that were my kid, i wouldn't allow it! If I have a credit card, I would keep it away from him or anyone else. Huh, grandma wouldn't buy it either for him! That kid would work for that toy himself if he were mine!

And this is just as True today as it was yesterday 🤦🏽‍♂️ FTL-BAMN

The coal regions of America were abandoned by Washington DC. It’s one of the many outrageous things done in the name of environmental activists religion.

Until blacks quit worshipping their sports and entertainment thug role models, and get over their BS about how their owed a living by white America, and start working for the country instead of against it, while having their hands out for free $ from others, it's going to be the same as it's ever been.

The kid throwing a rock directly at the house made me chuckle lol

When they get wealthy they forget their roots and move on. Instead of giving something to help their own people they take off to a majority environment.

These are trump supporters now😂😂😂

Jay-Z worth about a billion. Crackhead down the street aint worth shit.

Every young person that thinks they have it worse than their grand parents and great grandparents; should be reqired to watch this.

I’m not sure if they are 30 years behind the rest of the country or 30 years ahead.

13:29 he has nothing but offer the film crew some of that precious food. That’s a good man

They may not have any money, but they are not poor.

Alright so; 1st period - Holy Bible 2nd period - Bible English 3rd period - Bible Math 4th period - Bible Home Ech Lunch - what they made in bible home ech Got it!

N it’s still the same today

Please don’t use this video as a cop-out today in 2024. There’s equal opportunity. I’ve met so many black people in multimillion dollar houses all over Atlanta. There is no oppression today. The media tries very hard to keep the divide amongst the people but it’s clear that the only divide we need to fight is the governments/corporations VS we the people. The further they keep us from that realization, the closer they remain to total control and infringement of all our rights.

This production doesn't see anyone as black or white. Just shades of green.

Rothchild Jewish ✡️ Interests from England 🇬🇧 brought slaves from Africa West Indies , Caribbean, & Jamaica 🇯🇲. Sold into slavery by their own tribal Kings. Slaves were first brought to the USA 🇺🇸 by British 😮😢 Jewish ✡️ Rothchild Interests to Northern Jamestown Virginia in 1732. Because the wealthy Jewish ✡️ Interests , were to lazy to do their own work. Jewish ✡️ Interests now are flooding the USA 🇺🇸 🙄 😳 😮 with illegals to do their work and to illegally vote 🗳 🙄 😮😢 for President Biden when the election for President in 2024 !!!!! 😮😢 Kevin Phoenix ✝️

Now it's poor land, rich people! The popularity and applause killed it!!! Turned "Holy Day" into holiday and now everyone gets to worship and celebrate themselves!!! Sad...

I am beginning to think that there wasn't a concerted community cooperation and the expectations for govt to step into the gap fell way short
