A story of survival and recovery, Hidden Scars is an interview with veteran hard rock miner Don Capperelli. Don recounts the events surrounding a 1994 rock burst that buried him and his partner, killing his partner and severely injuring him.  A study in both mining safety and mining culture, Hidden Scars will touch even the most hardened worker.
