That's just ... peak Netflix.
There was a similar movie about the oxycontin epidemic- but they took a miner and made her a lesbian female so netflix audiences would sympathize with the working class.
edit: and they took the lawyer (who actually existed) and made her black and female IIRC
There was a decent show called Coal (2011) with actual West Virginial coal miners mining coal.
It's impossible to find now probably because it showed poor white people working hard in a dangerous job just to get by which isn't convenient for their narrative of 'white privilege'. Also one-word title doesn't help.
Based on a true story
Only needs the BMWF adultery subplot (which is what I thought the title was referencing at first tbh)
