RUNNING FOR THE MOUNTAINS is a deep dive into the often murky waters of West Virginia's socio-political landscape. It paints a vivid picture of the struggle between grassroots activists and the shadowy forces of big money in politics. The pacing has this raw, almost urgent feel, as it intertwines personal stories with broader themes of environmental justice and community resilience. You get a sense of the place—the mountains loom, representing both beauty and the stakes at play. The doc captures real people fighting to protect their homes, with palpable emotion and grit, and the cinematography feels gritty and authentic. It's not your typical polished documentary; there's a roughness that brings its subjects to life in a powerful way.
