“In her personal documentary King Coal, the director Elaine McMillion Sheldon records the modern traditions—beauty pageants, local football games, and modest festivals—that commemorate the once dominant natural resource that powered central Appalachia. … The film is both a eulogy for a way of life and an examination of the climate crisis.” – Robert Daniels, The New York Times
