I liked that the Italian woman and the old white woman, though at first not being very good neighbors (at least the old one) eventually became reconciled to share and sit together--and to provide comfort when the old lady's son (grandson?) was killed. The union had to get the miners to accept the minority scabs who wanted to join the union with them, so it seems appropriate to show that their families had to learn to get along and accept each other, as well. -Whitney Holcomb | I liked that the Italian woman and the old white woman, though at first not being very good neighbors (at least the old one) eventually became reconciled to share and sit together--and to provide comfort when the old lady's son (grandson?) was killed.

| + | I think that the movie was pretty generally accurate. It's not the most perfect of the films we've watched, but it did seem to present most of the different sides and opinions involved in the formation of unions and the difficulties of the time.
