B.J. Gudmundsson wanted to make a documentary film about the Galford Lumber Company moving from West Virginia-Virginia to New England, helping those poor souls harvest the millions of trees blown down by "the storm of the century." She decided to make the film herself - and this is the result. Shown several times at the Harvard Forest Museum, it is a landmark film showing that Appalachians are anything but victims of their fate. They decided to travel to New England to help the people there make use of the awful storm that destroyed so many trees. This film is an ultimate story about how the human spirit can triumph of adversity. She began her film career with this film, and in 2005 was chosen by West Virginia indie filmmakers to be "the filmmaker of the year" at the 2005 West Virginia Filmmakers Film Festival in Sutton, West Virginia. She completed her second major film, "#30 - Cal Price and the Pocahontas Times" which won "best documentary" at the 2005 WVFFF. Recently she completed her multi-film DVD on mountaintop removal mining that includes "Mountain Mourning" about Christians for the Mountains. She has joined the ranks of award-winning women filmmakers of Appalachia that includes Barbara Kopple, double-Oscar winner, and Anne Lewis and Mimi Pickering of Appalshop. All Appalachians should be proud of her films and watch them and show them to their children and grandchildren.
