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. Eastover's 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. Preserved by the Academy Film Archive in partnership with New York Women in Film & Television in 2004.

glad I'm not a coal miner, these motherfuckers got some serious balls

Unbelievably raw and unflinching. A film of immense emotional power, from some of the bravest documentary film-makers to ever work inside the genre. In short, probably the best documentary I've ever seen.

Really interesting documentary about the Harlan County coal miner's strike of the early 70s.

A powerful documentary. This film chronicles the attempt of Kentucky mine workers to unionize despite management's violent, armed response. The personalities featured are engaging, and the footage they captured of armed goons and attempted murder is simply outstanding. One of the best "true" documentaries ever made.

The footage documenting the tension and violence along the picket lines is especially incredible. The director must have developed a very intimate relationship with this community during filming.
