an Appalshop film by Anne Lewis about the Pittston coal strike. It's the 20-year anniversary of a strike that rings out as an example of worker and community solidarity. More than 1,700 coal miners in southwest Virginia and West Virginia walked out after the company revoked the health care of pensioners, disabled miners and their families, and widows. There were 4,000 arrests for nonviolent civil disobedience. Issues include the demand for universal health care, global energy, lay offs, and the Right to Work law.
