This black and white film is almost sixty years old. It is not a modern, hip film like "Run Lola Run" or "The Fast and the Furious". It is a "message" film, but it is not filled with attractive, colorful scenes or glamorous stars like "Blood Diamond" or "Syriana". The dialogue is sometimes "on the nose" rather than implied.
HOWEVER--the photography actually is pretty good -- the way the old film makers used shadows and camera angles in black and white films can create very striking ... Read More

At first this movie seems dated - it is 54 years old. Stay with it for a few more minutes and you will realize that it is NOW. Extracting work by draining the life's blood of the workers will never cease. Many brave people were involved in this true story, and many brave actors, writers, directors and producers made this film possible. The making of this film was a labor of love and belief, not a commercial venture. It should live on and be shown forever.

This film should be required viewing for all high ... Read More

Wow. One of the few films where the back story rivals the plot (like with Aguirre: The Wrath of God).

However, unlike many other union portrayals this takes on an incredible new slant when the male miners can no longer legally strike and their wives and daughters take over the picket line for them. Certainly my first movie equating good working conditions for men AND developing the ... Read More

This film shows how a group of mainly Hispanic miners who are discriminated against with dangerous working conditions and unsanitary housing better their lot through industrial action. But in the process the miners also have to change their attitudes towards women, so that the film acts against several social injustices at once. The film remains powerful even though it was made 50 years ago. It reminded me of the story of a successful hunger strike by ANC prisoners on Robben Island in the days of ... Read More
