great documentary

I'm 35 years old. I can't beleave how far we came from this time to the present. It really wasn't that long ago.They couldn't get a bar of soap to wash with,they get shot at and no law enforcement would do anything. Try that today.

I'm watching this film as I write, but I can only take it in spurts...too intense! I grew up in WV coal mining area. How is Harlan today?

Its nothing like the old Harlan,

they went back to work or at least a percentage of them did, for less money that they were actually striking for in the frist place and the brave men crossing those picket lines got raises and bounes for doing so, most spent the extra on guns other then food for their familys or thats what my dad did with his anyway. **Harlan county born and raised**

I lived in Harlan County when the strikes where going on and beleave me it was as bad as this clip.

my dad told me storys about this. he was from hindman ky in knott co

what's the name of that song, that plays in the beginning? real good.
