			<video:title><![CDATA[Beyond The Breaker]]></video:title>

			<video:description><![CDATA[Northeastern Pennsylvania (NEPA) is home to one of the largest anthracite deposits in the world. Over 400 coal breakers, large factory-like machines that processed anthracite, once dotted the landscape. The last of these structures in the Northern Pennsylvania Coalfield, the Huber Breaker in Ashley, was demolished in August 2014 despite grassroots community efforts to save it.

“Beyond the Breaker” explores the impact of the Huber Breaker’s loss on the rural NEPA community. Standing at a massive 130 feet, the Huber loomed over the Wyoming Valley since 1939, able to process over 7,000 tons of anthracite per day at the height of its operation.

Through a series of interviews with citizens and scholars from all walks of life, “Beyond the Breaker” captures the passion and resiliency of a community struggling to preserve its identity.
