(PARK CITY, UTAH - 28 Jan 2005)
The screening of HARLAN COUNTY USA concluded with a Barbara Kopple Q&A, a song and a presentation by striking coal miners in Utah. Several miners from Carbon County, Utah spoke out about the Kingston family-owned coal mines and their inability to make the mines safer and get a better wage. Ironic (and sad) that Kopple’s film came out in 1976 and it is just as timely today (where we are now) as it was almost 30 years ago.
