Matewan
Movie (1987)
Gripping political drama, set in a 1920s rural American coal mining town that is ruled with an iron fist by the company in possession of the mine. As the owners cut the workforce's wages, while bringing in cheaper labour, a union activist organises a strike - and attempts to unite the local miners and the new arrivals against the exploitation of the management. But those who make a stand soon face vicious recriminations. With James Earl Jones, Chris Cooper, Mary McDonnell, Will Oldham, David Strathairn and Kevin Tighe
