We've got a book thread (albeit with a rather questionable origin).

How about a movie thread?

I just watched a documentary called 'Harlan County, USA'

Harlan County, U.S.A.
1976
PG
103 minutes

Director Barbara Kopple's film about the 1973 coal miners' strike in Harlan County, Ky., won a Best Documentary Oscar and was selected for the National Film Registry. Highlighting the struggles of families living in shacks with no indoor plumbing and enduring hazardous working conditions, the film details the conflict between the Eastover Mining Co. and the laborers determined to join the United Mine Workers of America.


Tons of footage of picket lines and meetings, just footage, not editorializing. I thought it was pretty damn good. And excellent music. Hazel Dickens, Florence Reece "Which Side Are You On".

Just wondering if anyone has seen anything good lately, or has any good recommendations.
