Description:
The town of Carmichael, Pennsylvania (population 556) and its vanishing way of life is a far cry from Hollywood. Coal mining has shaped this area of the country, instilling a strength and pride in its citizens. The Bituminous Coal Queens of Pennsylvania documents the odyssey of Hollywood actress Sarah Rush back to her roots as a 16-year old pageant winner. Capturing the spirit of the community during the 50th Anniversary celebrations of the Coal Queen Pageant of 2003, this film is a humorous and touching look into small town America.

I love this film. Okay, I helped make it, so maybe I'm biased. But it's a very sweet and funny film about small town America, and it's truly special. We won a Heartland Film Festival Award, as well as a Best Documentary Award from the Renaissance Film Festival. As we traveled to Film Festivals all over the country, it was so rewarding to meet people who really loved the film, and who related to it so deeply. You don't have to be from a small town or even Pennsylvania to connect with it. It's ... Read More

I grew up in Carmichaels, PA and we looked forward to the last week in August all our lives............waiting for the King Coal Parade and the culmination being the float carrying the Bituminus Coal Queen and her court. You will never know what that was like unless you grew up in a small, industrial town that celebrated it's heritage and traditions every year with a festival (with a carnival to follow!). The movie was dead on!

Pop the popcorn and gather the family around the TV for movie night to enjoy a slice of small town life, humor, and heart! Similar to the cult hit "Waiting for Guffman", this movie depicts the lives, hopes, and dreams of "real" people who live in a small coal mining community in Pennsylvania.
You'll fall in love with the narrator, an adorable actress, Sarah Rush, as she takes you on a journey to her hometown and reminisces about her life in the small coal mining community when she was ... Read More

Many "untalented" young women from these pageants earned advanced degrees in music, education, law, business and the sciences. Education was highly valued in Southwestern Pennsylvania. Parents wanted their children to have opportunities they had not had. As students at colleges and universities, many children from coal mining towns learned that they were indeed rich in cultural heritage, family values and work ethic. These were talents, gifts, that money could not buy.

I enjoyed every minute of this genuine and lovely documentary. It is so clear to me that the narrator remains connected to her hometown and loves and honors the people who live there. I found myself pulling for every one of the young women in the current Coal Queen pagaent--especially after being introduced to their families. I would recommend the film to anyone who wants to be reminded of the strength of family and the grace of smalltown America.
