, Sandip Roy, Posted: Oct 16, 2009
Editor's Note: Coal mining in tribal lands is a lucrative enterprise which creates jobs and millions in energy royalties. But success comes with a price. Bo Boudart is the director of Power Paths, a new documentary about community efforts to forge a new path in energy security for future generations. Power Paths is playing at the United Nations Association Film Festival on October 17th and airs as part of the PBS series Independent Lens on November 3rd.
