Bloody Harlan Kentucky: In The Deep Dark Hills of Eastern Kentucky

Harlan Kentucky is known as Bloody Harlan for a reason- nearly a hundred years of bitter and violent labor disputes between coal companies and mine workers seeking to unionize. The song says you'll never leave Harlan alive, but watch this episode to see what locals are doing to save their town and adapt in light of the dying coal industry.
