Barbara Kopple's Academy Award-winning1976 documentary unflinchingly documents a grueling coal miner's strike in a small Kentucky town.

dir. Barbara Kopple 103 min. | 1976 | 4K restorationBarbara Kopple’s Academy Award–winning 1976 documentary HARLAN COUNTY USA unflinchingly documents a grueling coal miners’ strike in a small Kentucky town. With unprecedented access, Kopple and her crew captured the miners’ sometimes violent struggles with strikebreakers, local police, and company thugs. Featuring a haunting soundtrack—with legendary country and bluegrass artists Hazel Dickens, Merle Travis, Sarah Gunning, and Florence Reece—the film is a heartbreaking record of the thirteen-month struggle between a community fighting to survive and a corporation dedicated to the bottom line.
