Harlan County USA.

Called by one reviewer, "Quite simply the best film I have ever seen on the subject of a strike", Harlan County USA details the events of 1973/74 when the miners of Brookside mine Kentucky struck for the right to join the United Mine Workers Union of America.

All the major events of the strike are Simon Wilson shown: confrontation between management and workers, the role of the gun-slinging scabs, picketing miners' wives, violence and murder. ". . . a work as passionate as it is insightful, as partisan as it is informative. A reminder that there cannot be neutrals - anywhere." Judith Crist.
