Premiering at the 2023 Sundance Film Festival, Academy Award-nominated director Elaine McMillion Sheldon's ("Heroin(e)", "Recovery Boys") elegiac, stirring, and magical new documentary “King Coal” gives an insider's unique perspective on the profound impact that coal has had on the people and mythos of Central Appalachia. As the daughter, granddaughter, and great-granddaughter of coal miners, Elaine's narrative comes from a place of personal experience and deep reflection — and stretches the boundaries of traditional documentary. Sitting down with Ken in Park City the night before her film's world premiere, Elaine discusses the liberating effect of using hybrid storytelling strategies, the challenges of presenting a nuanced approach to a highly politicized issue, and her nervous anticipation of watching the film with her family for the first time. "King Coal" was produced by Diane Becker, Shane Boris, and Peggy Drexler.   Follow: @topdocspod on Instagram and twitter @elainemsheldon on twitter   The Presenting Sponsor of “Top Docs” is Netflix. A big thanks to Portrait for hosting this conversation at Sundance. 

In this episode, Neil and Will sit down with award winning documentary filmmaker Elaine McMillion Sheldon.  Better known for her Netflix documentaries "Recovery Boys" and "Heroin(e)", she dives into her overall work, why it's important for her to be in Appalachia and how there are bigger issues to worry about than lazy stereotypes.  As a granddaughter, daughter and sister of a coal miner, she also discusses her upcoming documentary, "King Coal", and the immediate need to focus on what's next.  You also don't want to miss her West Virginia trivia skills and how she calls a place she has never lived "home."  Additionally, find out what Neil thinks of acronyms and "incubators" - it's been a while!  Take a listen! 

Documentary filmmakers take us into the lives of their subjects in a way that the written word can't capture. We see what they see. We get a sense of the physical space they occupy with our own eyes.  We hear their voices.  Elaine McMillion Sheldon weaves these elements together in powerful films that explore everything from love to addiction. McMillion Sheldon is an Academy Award-nominated, and Emmy and Peabody-winning documentary filmmaker based in Appalachia. She has been commissioned by Netflix, Frontline PBS, The Center for Investigative Reporting, The Oxford American, The New York Times Op-Docs, TEDWomen, Field of Vision, and The Bitter Southerner. Sheldon is the director of two Netflix Original Documentaries, “Heroin(e)” and “Recovery Boys” that explore America's opioid crisis. “Heroin(e)” was nominated for a 2018 Academy Award and won the 2018 Emmy Award for Outstanding Short Documentary. The short film premiered at the 2017 Telluride Film Festival and went on to screen hundreds of times across America as part of a community-driven impact campaign. Sheldon has appeared on “The Daily Show” with Trevor Noah, Anthony Bourdain's CNN show, “Parts Unknown” and “Meet The Press” with Chuck Todd. She's a founding member of the All Y'all Southern Documentary Collective. She is a recipient of the 2020 John Simon Guggenheim Fellowship in Film and 2021 Creative Capital Awardee. In 2016 she received a highly-competitive national “Breakthrough Award” and fellowship from Chicken and Egg Pictures. She was also named a 2018 USA Fellow by United States Artists, one of the 25 New Faces of Independent Film by Filmmaker magazine, one of 50 People Changing The South by Southern Living magazine, and grants from Sundance, Tribeca, Catapult, Chicago Media Project, and Field of Vision.

This episode is Part 1 of 2 with our guest Elaine McMillion Sheldon. Elaine is an Academy Award nominated and Emmy and Peabody award winning filmmaker. She is best known for directing two Netflix original documentaries Heroine and Recovery Boys, and was recently named to Doc New York City's 40 under 40 list for 2020. Having grown up in southern WV, Elaine now lives and teaches film in Knoxville TN. On this episode, we ask Elaine about her passion for documentary filmmaking, and also catch some cool stories from her time on the red carpet at the Academy Awards. Be sure to stay tuned for the release of Part 2 of Elaine's interview in the coming weeks. Until then as always, Take a listen.

Elaine McMillion Sheldon is an Academy Award-nominated, and Emmy and Peabody-winning documentary filmmaker based in Appalachia. She is the director of two Netflix Original Documentaries - "Heroin(e)" and "Recovery Boys" - that explore America's opioid crisis. "Heroin(e)" was nominated for a 2018 Academy Award and won the 2018 Emmy Award for Outstanding Short Documentary. She was also featured on Anthony Bourdain's - Parts Unknown West Virginia episode, and she helped with everything on the episode from location to story to people. Elaine's family has been in West Virginia for generations, and she is proud to tell the untold stories of the region, show the people that would otherwise not get shown, and showcase the problems there - in the hopes of solving them. Elaine and I discuss - Why she focuses on storytelling in Appalachia Why documentaries are so popular now How to get people to open up in front of a camera The opioid and heroin crisis Her work with Anthony Bourdain Her documentary Heroin(e) And much more... Elaine McMillion Sheldon My Take: We must never look at the other as different or unapproachable, we shouldn't see differences as dividers, but rather an opportunity to engage in conversation and strengthen/create bonds through dialogue and open communication. The reason why good documentaries touch us so profoundly is that they allow us a peek into worlds otherwise inaccessible to us. Good documentaries have the power to open our eyes, get us involved, shed light on important topics, move us, and henceforth create change. Support the Podcast

Human beings are social creatures and the pandemic is taking a toll on all of us in one way or another. It's also bringing to light just how important human connection is in our lives. This week on Inside Appalachia, we'll hear from folks who are overcoming these challenges on top of maintaining sobriety and staying on the path to recovery. As we grapple with the immediate health emergency of the coronavirus pandemic -- and celebrate the hope found in vaccines and infections going down -- here in Appalachia we're also struggling with two other public health crises: the opioid epidemic, and a large uptick in HIV cases. Researchers believe the crises are linked. West Virginia's capital city of Charleston is currently experiencing the nation's worst outbreak of HIV linked to injected drug use, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. We'll learn more about that next week, and hear from folks who worry that stigma and discrimination against people with substance use disorder is exacerbating the issue. Get Help If you, or a loved one, would like to talk with a professional counselor about recovery or addiction call 1-800-662-HELP or 1-800-662-4357. That's the hotline for the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration. They offer free, confidential counseling. Finding Sobriety Before Ryan Elkins, a recovery coach in southern West Virginia could help others, he had to find peace within himself.  “Which is something that I've lost along the way. So, it's really, really nice and comforting to know that I have this inner strength,” Elkins said. His mother died when he was 11 years old, and as a child, his father abused him. For a time, he found love and support after he left the state to move in with his mother's extended family. But he said he couldn't accept that love at the time. “They were so loving and caring that it scared me. I tried to avoid people.” Elkins is now a recovery coach in Lincoln County, West Virginia, and a student at Marshall University. Making Connections Fighting isolation is something that just about every human on the planet is struggling with right now. Some of the best tools for connecting are digital. For people in recovery, meetings on Zoom or Skype have become a lifeline to maintaining sobriety. With the digital format, there's the opportunity to meet every day. Ashley Temple is a single mother with three kids who lives in Charleston, West Virginia. She works full time at a hospital and she's a single mom. One of the communities hit hardest is Kermit, West Virginia. At the peak of the opioid crisis, drug companies sent 12 million hydrocodone pills to the town of about 350 people. Cars would line up at the one pharmacy with people waiting to pick up pain pills. The so-called pain clinics of a decade ago are gone. In their place, a continued need for addiction treatment and recovery resources. Telling Difficult Stories There are heroes among us who are trying to break down barriers. Several of them are featured in two Netflix documentaries, “Heroin(e)” and “Recovery Boys,” both directed by Elaine McMillion-Sheldon, and her husband Curren Sheldon. They are both West Virginia natives. Back in 2018, just after the release of “Recovery Boys,” Elaine sat down with Sarah Smarsh, host of a podcast called The Homecomers, to talk about what drove her to devote her career to telling stories about both the difficult realities, and the resilience of Appalachians.

IMDb: Curren SheldonPreviewWe believe that documentary films are growing, and not just because we filmed one last year! To go more in-depth on the process of filming and distribution, we brought in award-winning documentary filmmaker, Curren Sheldon.

Along with discussing the process from pre-production to distribution, we also talk about Curren’s experiences attending film festivals and stepping on the red carpet at Hollywood’s biggest night, The Oscars.Talking Points-How he went from travel writer to award-winning filmmaker-The process of filming the documentaries Heroin(e) and Recovery Boys-Scheduling When To Film-One-or Two-Camera Setup-Use of Lights?-Anticipating Pressing “Record”-Any Other Work During Production?-Involvement Other Than Being Behind The Camera-How Netflix got involved in the distribution of the two films-Film Festival Submission Process-Journey To The Oscars-What Was Next?Social Media: Official Website

Emmy award winning, Oscar nominated documentary filmmaker Elaine McMillion Sheldon and I sat down in the lobby of Marshall's theater during a screening of her newest feature length film, Recovery Boys. Sure, we talk about the deep stuff, like the ethics of making a film about real people and the need for Appalachian storytellers. We also giggle about red carpet fashion, which celebrity she scared off during a pre-party, and whether she can make a better music video than Drake (yes). Her latest project to drop is linked below. You can find Recovery Boys and Heroin(e) on Netflix. Maybe you've heard of it?  Opening jingle by Sarah J. Storer; graphic design by Kristin J.

Join Dr. Kevin Blankenship, the subject of the hot Netflix Documentary Recovery Boys, as we discuss the unique recovery program he created called Jacob's Ladder. evin Blankenship, MDFounder & Medical Director​The son of a coal miner, Kevin grew up in a small town in southern West Virginia. After graduating from high school, Kevin joined the U.S. Army to serve his country. After military service, Dr. Blankenship earned degrees in pharmacy and medicine and went on to complete his emergency medicine residency at West Virginia University. He became board certified in emergency medicine and worked in numerous medical settings throughout West Virginia. In 2014 an immediate family crisis with addiction brought Kevin face-to-face with the significant issue of this growing epidemic and the lack of recovery options throughout our country. Inspired by this experience, Dr. Blankenship has dedicated himself professionally to being part of the solution through directly serving the recovery industry and indirectly combating the stigma surrounding this issue in today's society. This dedication is what has become Jacob's Ladder.
