Witness the struggle of a historic coal miners’ strike with this 50th anniversary screening of the Oscar-winning Harlan County USA in a new 4K restoration.
Directed by two-time Academy Award–winner Barbara Kopple, Harlan County USA chronicles a 1973 coal miners’ strike in Kentucky and the fierce standoffs that ensued between miners and strikebreakers, company thugs, and local police. Although it turns 50 this year, the film remains vital and gripping, as does its haunting country and bluegrass soundtrack featuring such legendary artists as Hazel Dickens and Merle Travis. Harlan County USA won the Academy Award for Best Documentary Feature and was selected for the Library of Congress’s National Film Registry in 1991. (103 mins., 4K DCP)
