Beneath the streets of Hazleton, Pennsylvania, lies a world forgotten by time—a network of hidden tunnels, abandoned mine shafts, and underground structures that hold the secrets of the past.The Secrets Beneath Hazleton builds off the viral short documentary "The Secret Beneath Hazleton" with the goal to uncover forgotten mining history and preserve it before it's lost forever.This is the first WVIA original documentary film funded entirely by our community - 90 individual Kickstarter backers!
