Film Screening: "Harlan County, U. S. A."

Please join the members of PS276 "From Strike to Revolution: The Politics of Work and Work Refusal" for a screening of Harlan County U.S.A. (1976, dir. Barbara Kopple). This classic film—which won the 49th Academy Award for Best Documentary—documents an Eastern Kentucky mine-workers' strike unfolding in real time. As they fight to win union recognition and a contract, workers and their families must confront not only violence from scabs and the local police, but also internal struggles about strike strategy and the racial and gender dynamics of the movement. See the trailer for the film here.
