Judson College senior Chelsea Barton recently worked with University of California, Berkeley, graduate students as a documentary assistant while they were in Perry County. The documentary is about coal ash from a coal ash spill in Kingston, Tenn., being moved to Perry County. The local community is against the coal ash being dumped at the Uniontown landfill. The documentary crew worked on the project in October and November in Perry County. The final project is due May 4. The crew plans to return to Perry County sometime in early summer to screen the film for the local community.
