Matewan
Written and directed by John Sayles, Matewan explores unions and coal in 1920 West Virginia. IMDB has a couple of great synopses to refresh your memory. There are some really nice performances tucked into this film, and Sayles wrote a book about film making based around this experience.

Couldn't get the coal

the union meeting.

It's coal and unions.
That's what the blurb I read said.
It's coal and unions.
So far, there are 3 entries. Throw yours in Sludge and let's get the voting done. After all, I don't want all of my hard work to go to waste. 
I voted (even though Chocky's entry was missing two syllables and a little out of format).  |
