- Context
- The film "Hat Creek" was a public education endeavor that was made by the Hat Creek Committee and UBCIC in an effort to document the concerns that people had about the B.C. Hydro project that intended to use the Hat Creek coal deposit to fuel generators for electric power generation in Hat Creek, British Columbia. This photograph was probably taken in Montana on a trip to the United States to gather information about mining as part of public education efforts related to the Hat Creek film. This project involved researching, interviewing and filming people and places in relation to Hat Creek as well as people and places already affected by coal mining elsewhere such as in the United States.
