Afar & Below--the story of the Wyoming Trona miners

Glass, toothpaste, paper--everyday products made possible by a mineral most people have never heard of: trona.  In fact, 100% of U.S. glass relies on trona mined in Wyoming.  Yet the vast underground world that fuels this $470 million (and growing) industry remains largely invisible to the public.  This one-hour doumentary takes you deep into the heart of the Wyoming trona mines, where workers navigate massive subterranean cities and operate heavy machinery to extract this essential mineral.  Along the way, you'll meet the people behind the process--the miners whose labor supports local commnities through millions in state taxes and royalties.  Join us underground and discover what it truly means to be a Wyoming trona miner.
