Lauded by some, despised by others, Mike Roselle is one of the most controversial figures in the crusade to protect the environment. Mike has succeeded in stopping a lumber project by spiking trees, struggled with death threats and the car bombing of fellow activist Judi Bari, endured countless days in jail, infiltrated the Nevada Test Site to delay nuclear bomb detonation, helped put a gas mask on Mount Rushmore’s George Washington, and aided actor Woody Harelson in draping a banner up on the Golden Gate Bridge. He has spent over thirty years fighting back against big business, negligent management and the lawless actions of the government itself for the safety and preservation of our great earth. In this brief video, Mike talks about the threat that mountaintop removal strip mining poses to the environment of the planet and the people of West Virginia.

It was recorded on DVD and then captured again in 640x480 for a video art installation, and the video effects were created on an analog video synth emulator called Cathodemer.
