gritty stuff
A fascinating insight into events in Harlan County. What it must have been like in the 30's defies imagination.Excellent music score too.

Brilliant!
This observational documentary shows a side of America Hollywood doesn't want you to see. The music used in this film comes straight from the heart of the people who lived through the ordeal of struggling to survive because of corrupt officials.
