Facing the Storm: Story of the American Bison!



Mining Seven-up Pete is the story of the struggle to save the famed Blackfoot River in western Montana from what would be one of the largest cyanide heap-leach gold mines in North America. It documents the legacy of mining throughout the state of Montana: cyanide-laced groundwater, acid mine drainage, and the lost hope of a boom and bust economy.

Mining Seven-Up Pete is available on DVD by special order only. Contact us for details.
