“The Buffalo Creek Flood: An Act of Man,” is a documentary of the Feb. 26, 1972 catastrophe when a coal-waste dam owned by the Pittston Company collapsed at the head of a crowded hollow in southern West Virginia. A wall of sludge, debris, and water tore through the valley below, leaving in its wake 125 dead and 4,000 homeless. Pickering interviewed survivors, representatives of union and citizens groups and officials of the Pittston Company. In the film, those interviews are juxtaposed with actual footage of the flood and scenes of the devastation.
