The Fight for West Virginia
Elections, coal’s decline, and political change in West Virginia. In the heart of West Virginia, this documentary tracks Richard Ojeda's quest to flip a red seat blue. It’s November 2018, and the United States lurches towards a critical mid-term election with democracy at a crossroads. In West Virginia, State Senator Richard Ojeda, a former Major in the U.S. Army, runs for Congress as a Democrat in a deeply Republican district. Can he flip a red seat blue? Can laid-off coal miners learn computer coding and find employment in the new digital economy? And can a group of young woman band together after opioid addiction to successfully restart their lives? This is The Fight for West Virginia.
