Harlan County U.S.A. (1976)
This film documents the coal miners' strike against the Brookside Mine
of the Eastover Mining Company in Harlan County, Kentucky in June,
1973. Eastovers refusal to sign a contract (when the miners joined
with the United Mine Workers of America) led to the strike, which
lasted more than a year and included violent battles between
gun-toting company thugs/scabs and the picketing miners
and their supportive women-folk. Director Barbara Kopple
puts the strike into perspective by giving us some
background on the historical plight of the miners
and some history of the UMWA.
