Despite being the nation's leader in coal production, Wyoming has experienced about 1,000 layoffs in the coal industry in 2016. President Donald Trump has promised to bring back coal, but so far, former miners like James Hart have not had any luck finding new jobs. Instead, Hart is putting his hopes into renewable energy and a growing sector of jobs at wind farms.
“The Divided” video series explores hopes, fears and actions that followed the 2016 presidential election. During the past year, our filmmakers traveled the country to meet people affected by issues that divide America.
The Glassbreaker Films initiative at The Center for Investigative Reporting aims to support women in documentary filmmaking and investigative journalism. The project is generously funded by the Helen Gurley Brown Foundation.
