ecormier Right wing propaganda at it's lowest. Ironically purporting to "care" for the poor while the real negative effects of this industry are felt by the people who work for a "living" and will suffer the most by supporting it. This so called "film maker" is a shill for the right wing capitalist zealots that own the mining industry and have created the pollution that threatens the only home we know. The producer and director has been spewing this anti-science propaganda with other trash like "Frack Nation" and "Not Evil Just Wrong" paid for by Murdoch and Charles and David Koch. It is surprising that these billionaires have so many "poor people" convinced that science is out to harm them and that it is their enemy when the earth itself is ignored at our peril.

TheBlueHairedLawyer In Sydney Mines Nova Scotia, when the large coal mines and steel mill were here everything was better, families could survive and afford to live there. Thanks to environmental organizations the mines were closed, the steel mill soon after, and Cape Breton Island suffered a huge economic collapse leaving families forced to move out west for new work.This isn't the first example of uneducated environmentalists fighting for a cause that isn't even there; these hippies have gotten many places shut down or threatened careers, from the anti-fracking activists to the protesters of the Dow Chemical Company. In the end these corporations are the good guys; they provide useful products and jobs to thousands of employees per corporation.Mine Your Own Business deserves a much higher rating, watch it with an open mind. It presents facts and interviews the locals in these small towns that rely on mining as the main industry. It also exposes these environmentalists as uneducated people who are narrow-minded and won't accept that there are two sides to every story. It isn't biased, it shows facts before opinions and explores the second side. I loved it, check it out!

rfscala My husband and I watched this film and were startled to find that, although the subjects were in various countries and nowhere near us, we felt it was a tale of our current plight. Change the location and the industry and it is HERE.What an excellent film. Finally, local people speaking for themselves rather than outsiders declaring what is correct or allowable for the locals.What is the definition of poverty? This film shows the real definition and the reason why poverty is still so rampant, even in the United States.This should be required viewing in all schools. Instead of the "green" movement propaganda that is overtaking our children and brainwashing them into believing an ecological fairytale, reality should be given at least equal time. This film is that reality.

flyinghigh33 Mine Your Own Business, a film produced by New Bera Media in association with the Moving Picture Institute, looks at the dark side of environmentalism.It talks to some of the worlds poorest people about how western environmentalists are campaigning to keep them in poverty because they think their way of life is quaint. It is the first documentary to ask hard questions of the environmental movement.A wonderful insight into the arrogance of western environmentalism and it's attempts to socially engineer third world cultures.You will hear much ado from those sheep who worship the new religion of environmentalism but this film takes you into the lives of those who suffer the effects of the "religion of the privileged"You may love it or hate it..but either way, this documentary will make you feel something!
