1976 Harlan County USA Official Trailer 1 Janus Films
The movie that catapulted Barbara Kopple to the top ranks of American documentary filmmakers is also a gritty, inspiring, and harrowing look at the stakes (up to, and including murder) involved when workers stand up for their rights. It’s also a portrait of righteous ferocity in a bygone era, when blue collar workers, united, stood and fought for their rights rather than merely begging for scraps.
