The feature doc puts a spotlight on American communities across the country that are wrestling with the legacy of the coal industry and what its future should be under the Trump administration.<\/p>\n<p><em>From the Ashes<\/em> will have its world premiere at the 2017 Tribeca Film Festival on April 26 at the Festival Hub, followed by a limited theatrical release on June 25.

We are thrilled to partner with RadicalMedia and Bloomberg Philanthropies to amplify the complex conversation about the coal industry as well as alternative forms of energy.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFor over a century, mining and energy companies have been privatizing coal\u2019s profits while socializing its costs,\u201d commented Michael R. Bloomberg, founder of Bloomberg Philanthropies and co-author of the new book <em>Climate of Hope<\/em>. \u201cCoal plant pollution kills 7,500 Americans a year and causes many more serious illnesses. <em>From the Ashes<\/em>\u00a0shows the risks we face as a nation if we continue to rely on coal and examines how Americans in local communities, including in coal country, are helping to lead the transition toward cleaner air and stronger economies.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cUsing media and technology to inform, connect and prompt action is in the DNA of Bloomberg and we\u2019re excited to harness the power of storytelling to reach new audiences and inspire change at such a critical time in our history,\u201d added Bloomberg Philanthropies\u2019 Oliver, who also serves as executive producer.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>National Geographic Documentary Films has picked up the 2017 Tribeca Film Festival selection feature documentary From the Ashes, which explores the legacy and future of the coal and mining industry.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":477,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"pmpro_default_level":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[69],"tags":[2105,2106,2062,2107],"class_list":["post-10016","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","","category-top-stories","tag-bloomberg-philanthropies","tag-from-the-ashes","tag-national-geographic-documentary-films","tag-radicalmedia","pmpro-has-access"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.7 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Nat Geo Acquires Coal &amp;
