yes its the best ive ever seen i seem to find it on tv every 5 years or so found it on demand for free got a pizza and watched it tonight very very good
I watched this film at school. Pretty moving, but I can't imagine how far Barbara Kopple and her film crew went to document these events on a motion picture documentary.
I lived in Harlan as a child. On 4/28/1978 I was hit by a drunk driver. The tire ran over my head and crushed my skull to this day 40 years later I still have repercussions from that accident the man who hit me name is Ronnie woodsby If I remember correctly
I don't care if she was a Communist, a Fascist, or a raging Socialist....Lillian Hellman wrote some amazing plays, and that's why I respect her--for her work. Oh, and Harlan County--what an awesome documentary!! :)
You know nothing about me and that is your reply. My son defends your right of free speech and expression. Sadly, people who claim to be progressive are among those who are the most intolerant of others. God Bless.
bonscott01: 1. Our country has free speech protected by the first amendment. 2. You must be very prosperous and powerful not to be able to sympathize with the suffering, hard-working classes of people such as coal miners. 3. If you were to experience true hardship you might eventually develop understanding of people who are devoted to telling the story of impoverished, oppressed people and their spokespeople.
I honestly think Harlan County, USA is the greatest documentary ever made.
I couldn’t agree more I just re watched it tonight

Absolutely!
Fantastic speech Barbara Kopple gave. I saw Harlan County USA and it still resonates today.
Just watched it today. So real. I doubt something like it could happen today.
three beautiful, amazing women... may their courage and perspective continue to influence generations to come!
Fantastic documentary. Well deserved win

I’m so sorry that happened Michael. Was that man ever charged?
Check out a new essay on this doc called "Outtakes of '68" in the July 2020 issue of the south atlantic quarterly

Lillian Hellman's hair was always amazing! She wasn't a pretty woman but she made the most of her hair.
Wow... That presenter seems like a ball of joy.
I guess the producers assumed Hollywood on Trial would win. Fortunately the voters made the right choice and picked the best documentary ever.
