  • Hey, it's Jane here.

  • I'm excited to share with you the newest season of our limited series made in partnership with Campside Media that we know you'll love.

  • Shadow Kingdom, Coal Survivor.

  • In 1972, American coal miners cast a historic vote, not just for new union leadership,

  • but against the corruption and violence that had taken over their organization.

  • Months later, their ousted boss, Tony Boyle,

  • stood trial for ordering the murder of his rival, Jock Leblonski, and his family.

  • Coal Survivor is the unbelievable true story of how Tony Boyle,

  • head of one of the most powerful labor unions in the country,

  • was taken down by a crew of young,

  • working-class organizers who fought like their lives depended on it.

  • Because they did.

  • At the center of it all is Chip Leblonski, Jock's son and the sole survivor of the attack.

  • Along with a crew of friends and allies, Chip set out to reform the union from the inside.

  • I love this show because it has tape, original reporting, and voices no one has heard before.

  • It's like peeling back the layers of a cold case that changed the entire country.

  • Here is the first episode of the series.
