Hope for Polluted Waters is a one-hour WVIA documentary film produced in 2007 about mining and abandoned mine drainage in Pennsylvania

The film tells the personal stories of individuals and groups working throughout the coal-mining regions of Pennsylvania to clean up the abandoned mine drainage (AMD) that pollutes over 4,000 miles of waterways in the state.

The focus of the story is the people themselves; their passions, frustrations, challenges and ultimately their triumphs over pollution. Dedication drives these individuals, whose goal is a better future. These emotions are evident in every one of the volunteers who is trying to correct the wrongs of the past.
