NIOSH’s educational video, Faces of Black Lung, is set to be screened Nov. 1 during the 8th Annual Film Festival of the American Public Health Association in Washington, DC. The film festival is the only one of its kind dedicated to public health. The video, which was highlighted on the NIOSH Science Blog, features stories from two coal miners who were diagnosed with black lung disease. They share their stories and explain how their lives have changed due to the disease.
