—The Harrison Studio

"Goodbye Gauley Mountain is deep, full of feeling, effective, beautifully made and powerful! Especially dear to my heart are all the fine ecosexual West Virginia dogs. The message of this film belongs in every adult and child's heart, soul, mind and body. This compost is hot!"
