Choose your own... web documentary of China's coal industry

Do you remember those Choose Your Own Adventure books where you got to determine the story plot by making choices about which page to turn to?

Journey to the End of Coal - a web-based documentary from Honky Tonk Films that follows the coal industry in China - takes the choose-your-own-adventure concept to a whole new level. Mixing photo, text, video and sound, Journey to the End of Coal lets you determine how you'd like the story to unfold.

Do you follow the miners to the shanty town? Hitch hike with a driver heading towards Beijing? And what will you do when the managers tell you that you're asking too many questions? Journey to the End of Coal is one of those internet game-changers: It takes the art of documentary to a whole new place.
