The 2nd Annual Appalachian Film Series at Berea College continues Monday, Oct. 8 with showings of “Buffalo Creek Flood” and “Buffalo Creek Revisited.”

Scheduled at 6:30 p.m. in the basement of Union Church, the event is free and open to the public. Light refreshments will be provided. The series is sponsored by Berea College’s Appalachian Center and CELTS.

“Buffalo Creek Flood” is the story of the February 26, 1972 disaster created when a coal-waste dam owned by the Pittston Company collapsed at the head of a crowded hollow in southern West Virginia, killing 125 people and leaving 4,000 homeless. Interviews with survivors, representatives of union and citizen’s groups and Pittston Company officials are juxtaposed with actual footage of the flood and scenes of the ensuing devastation. “Buffalo Creek Revisited” looks at the situation in the affected area ten years later.

Upcoming films in the series are “Nature’s Way” and “Catfish: Man of the Woods,” Nov. 12; and "Stranger with a Camera,” Dec. 10. For additional information, contact Lori Briscoe, Appalachian Center associate director, at 859-985-3140.
