Shocking, brilliant documentary about a miners' strike in Harlan County, Kentucky. We often speak badly of big business and its treatment of workers, but it's best not to forget how bad things can really get. Barbara Kopple lets the camera speak for itself -- no voiceovers, no framing remarks, no tricks -- and the result is stranger, truer, and more eloquent than fiction.
