Cursed Coal

Cursed by Coal is a new documentary from VICE News investigating how coal mining is devastating the Navajo Nation, the 27,000 square mile reservation straddling parts of Arizona, New Mexico, and Utah. In the documentary, VICE News correspondent Neha Shastry travels to the Navajo Nation and meets with residents affected by the abundance of coal on the land. “It’s killing Navajos, it’s horrendous,” a former coal miner dying of black lung tells VICE News.
