"Born into Coal" was a seven minute documentary on a small town that was based on coal mining. It mainly focused on two families in particular. One was a family whose daughter was in beauty pageants and she was competing in one that was about the coal mining association. She was an actual coal miner's daughter, and she talked about how she feared for her daddy to work there and the struggle her family went through while he worked there. There was another family who's dad was almost killed from an explosion of one of the mines nearby and he chose to leave the industry because he saw how easily he could have been killed. The daughter did win the beauty pageant and told about how she had taken a rescue course for coal mining so in case anything happened to her dad she might be small enough to get in to save him.
This was a great story, It was straight to the point and very touching. It made it to where others could relate, and it immediately grabbed you attention. The shots for this video also helped tell the story and made it very personal.
