As a coal miner’s daughter born in Bloody Harlan I am happy this movie came out. My father worked himself to the bone to provide for us and I will never forget. I still remember and hold company store coins from this era. This job is a thankless, extremely dangerous and backbreaking way to earn a living. My respect and prayers go out to all those in this line of work.
Cave ins waiting were excruciating and so many lives lost unnecessarily. Most people don’t realize these mines were only as high as the coal seam thickness tween 18-36” on avg. Imagine working stooped over like that all day, day in, day out. All these men were men of great fortitude and stature. God bless them every one.
Sierra Echo, I don't know what your deal is. But you lost all credibility when you said these mines were only 18 to 36 in. That would be impossible to work in. I believe you must be a psychopath just looking for attention.
Can I ask if your father is still alive? God bless you and your family.
@@stacydetwiler1475 Sad to say no. We laid him to rest in 2003. I miss him still.
@@sierraechopnw4228 i grew up in Lynch. now live just past Evarts in Closplint.
sierraechopnw4228 My father worked at a coal mine in the USSR, and told me that just like in this movie, when the siren turned on, all the wives and mothers ran to the mine to find out about the fate of their loved ones... Eternal memory to the lost miners of the whole world!

My dad's side of the family is from old bloody Harlan and I can tell you Holly Hunter truly nailed her part.
She's good,
I would truly nail holly hunter.
Absolutely
👍🏻
@@rmiller334Back off, pal. I saw her first.
Holly Hunter and Ted Levine were so well cast. They did a fantastic job of portraying the people from that part of the country.
The ungrateful and spoiled of today need to see these movies about the struggles and heartbreak our men and women suffered to survive and build what is America today. Unless they are taught to appreciate and understand the back breaking work the people did to feed families and how each person took pride in their community and neighborly love was what this nation was built on. God bless all who suffered and died to keep the wheel greased.
they didn't die and suffer for this country. they did it for greedy power companies. did you learn NOTHING from this movie?
Truly inspiring film. My dad worked in a coal mine for a year or so, he could not get used to not seeing the sun or the sky, spending the rest of his life underground was too much for a farmer's son. He went into construction until his pension.
I wish that film producers would make more movies about true life struggles. That was an amazing film. I learned some history about their struggle for fair and labor rights. I had no idea. Thank you.
You might like "Harlan County USA" (a documentary), or "The Mollie Maguires" or "Matewan".
No denying a coal man's life was a hard and dangerous life hood . I live through the times before a lot of industries don't provide safe environments or even descent living wages for there employees. My father was among them . And I am thankful as you should be for all those who died and them that stood strong and united together. To make working for the big companies better for us all . Thanks to all that made this movie possible.

I am a coal miners son in Pennsylvania I have relatives that mine is WV. Great movie about the struggle of miners and their families across the Applachians.
The minute I read Holly Hunter and Stellan I was so gonna watch this movie no matter what.
Holly Hunter is a great actress, she nails everything she does. Watch The Piano. I believe she won an academy award for the role she played.
Such courage and tenacity in the face of insurmountable odds. Convincing performances by Ruby and her husband! Loved every minute of this movie.
My family were all coal miners in Sth. Wales, UK. The greatest character was my granny who looked after us all. Martha Sarah was a formidable lady !. When she spoke we would all jump. She died in the 80s. This film has brought tears , as I miss her so much. I am 71yrs young. Fond regards to all mining families and thanks for this film. The acting is superb. Dave
I was part of The International Brotherhood of Sheet Metal Workers LOCAL 47 and I respect all Unions and there fore fathers that fought for all union members rights in the past. God bless them all..
When money is the only motivation, no safety, no health protection from the coal dust, corrupt unions, low wages, no health insurance, no mine safety inspections, that's why coal workers died from black lung disease, poor housing, no indoor plumbing, resulting in generation after generation of families at the mercy of these mine companies. Nothing will change until the workers hurt these companies legally, financially, and use force against their force. Workers deserve to have a safe and a well paid place to work.

In the present day, employers cannot retain employees. They don't have a hope of retaining employees without decent pay and conditions. The solution is an educated population, good economy and employee mobility.
A hundred and 20 years of Power Over People, the generations that lost the most aren't on any posters they are the in shadows, where my father was crouched beneath 65 tons of a locomotive. His pay was 1.30 cents a week.
@marie landry Yes
There's a big world out there. You have options, you can move. You can work anywhere else. Because these people must be inbred to not have any sense to do anything else. different.
The people and community portrayed in this movie were (and still are) the very backbone of what this country's SUPPOSED to be. Proud, dignified, honest, hard working... It's just a damn shame that as time goes by, the likes of em' are getting more and more scarce. Unfortunately, this country's turning into something that it was never meant to be.
Turning? Our Nation already is what it should not be. We ate living "Sodom & Gomorrah in modern times". Just about everyone walks around with a entitled attitude, "smash & grab" groups are no doubt paying politicians bc they're never caught & when they are, Businesses are forced to let them go as long as whatever they stole doesn't go over $1200, countless criminals are not held accountable bc Judges just slap their wrist vs making them work the fields, clean the City, garnish their wages, garnish their Social Security, etc...peace be with us all 🙏.

Holly Hunter is so good in this and she doesn't have to act it, because she is it !!
This was an epic movie, with excellent acting, excellent music, and NO ADS!! Highly recommended! ♥
Well there are ads now.
Yes an they get you with 2 adds back to back ruins the movie vibes I'm out
WOW what a movie , the best I've seen for ages , and that's saying a lot . I have never heard nor seen this before . Love Holly Hunter and Ted Levine , thank you so much Screen Blaze .xx
This movie is based from the documentary Harlan county USA which details the Harlan Co strike, and struggles the men and women in Harlan Co KY went through during the strike in the 70s.
Wow am so glad I watched this movie. Corporate greed was there even back then. Am appalled by what the miners and their families had to put up with back then. Absolute horror
Thank you for upload this heart wrenching story for us. This is one of the finest true to life films I've ever seen. American coal miners such proud hard working people families. What comes to mind is their descendants suffering and dying from Oxycontin as Perdue Pharmaceutical another behemoth corporation destroys them.
NOBODY forced them to take the Oxycontin and NOBODY told them to sell it to their neighbors' children. Epidemics begin with one person.
Holly Hunter is absolutely fantastic in this movie. I adore her. Nobody could have done this part better.
what a lovely movie! sometimes difficult times brings out the strength within. Love conquered and it became a stronger marriage.
Wonderful film! Holly Hunter and Ted Levine were great together!! Thanks to Peter Silverman for a superb script!!
This movie was EXCELLENT> It had me in tears , oh how I wish I could find a small town in the country where people had a sense of community and cared for one another. God bless us all.
Very good movie.
Holly Hunter is excellent.
what else can be said about that beautiful Holly Hunter?? Gold !! pure gold
I love to hear Holly Hunter talk. Even when she’s “over doing” the accent.
I thought the accent was real good but I'm from way out of States, so iz stooo pid from other places and tings. Near perfect movie though, tawt me learin's.
Holly Hunter grew up in Georgia, but lived in the Bronx for awhile.
I totally agree, she did overdo the Southern accent when it wasnt even necessary to get the point across.
I grew up in Harlan. Lived on Pine Mountain in Bledsoe. Always remembered the older folks talking about this and the strife and turmoil during the 30s. Very good movie.
Make sure and see HARLAN COUNTY USA , the film about the 1970 strike .
@@jameskennedy721 I did. I actually saw it in high school and right before I watched this movie. It was a very entertaining and informative documentary. It gave insight into events/people that I only heard about from people speaking about them.
@@miniard11b I wish I could say things have changed . But as I see it , more people are fighting like hell to make sure that change never comes . Miners in 1910 had a clearer picture of why a strike could work , and why siding with a big company or corporation would never work out in the long run .
@@jameskennedy721 you have a point. It seems to be a different time with more of the same. The years change but the problems stay. I don't believe it will change until the people make it change. Just as the miners did. They stood up, held firm in what they believed and what they wanted, did their best in every way and made that change a reality.
@@miniard11b Good point . I try to stay positive .
"I owe my soul to the company store hadn't changed much in the some fifty years later.
Harlan County War...great movie that captures the heart of the ''American spirit'' that our forefathers fought and died for.... in times of great adversary...this shows that we still have freedom to express ourselves....many nations don't...that is why other countries have always tried to mold their governments upon ours...and we can never take it for granted🌏☮AND💜✝.
It is a sin what was done by coal company owners and leaders to so many good, hard working Americans for so many years. And as good and accurate as this movie is, the real lives of most miners had even more hardship and they were wronged against more than is even depicted in this movie! Seeing their lives and struggles in this movie is a reminder of the madness of today. Where non-working lazy trash and people from other countries can sit on their asses and get free government food, housing, healthcare, and money.
The same thing was done in Britain,smaller mines many of which had a history of poor safety for various reasons and had been important to the nation in two world wars were closed. More modern postwar pits which came later were deemed uneconomical due to health and safety reasons,as they now were safer and closed in their entirety throwing thouands on the Scrap Heap. A vast industry nationalised, and on which the nation had depended in two world wars,disappeared after one hundred and fifty years in ten to twenty. Whole towns and villages. became ' bettter places to live,and corporate.
BUT NOT FOR MINERS and THEIR FAMILY"S OR LOCALS. They were 'Priced Out,' there was no longer work in the areas anyway.
@@philiprufus4427 it's the same story everywhere I would imagine. Rich men with clean hands make all they can from the land and the people then throw both away when it's not as profitable anymore. The worst part is what is left over at the end, like when a landslide of spoils buries a town.
I'm Pro-Union & so Praise Padre God for Unions. Yes, sadly they aren't perfect due to mankind giving in to greed & anger, however for the most, Unions have helped Companies stop their mistreatment & low pay. I'm so looking forward to this movie. Love love the accent! Peace be with us all 🙏. "Isa"
Great Movie, My Dad and Ancestors worked in the mines of Wv &Ky. My Dad left the Mines after a Mine Cave in. Luckily His shift didn't work that day. He later worked & Retired From Gravely Tractors.
My Great Grandfather and My Grandfather both were coal miners in southern Illinois and saw their share of heart breaking losses along with the incredibly hard work. Both of them died of black lung disease.
Excellent movie . Thank you for sharing.
Thank you for watching! Stay tuned! More gems coming :)
What a movie. I sent the link to my daughter and told her it was so powerful that I can't even imagine the strength and courage those women showed. It was well worth watching, thank you for the upload.
brilliant movie and "Women" throughout history as the saying goes, No man succeeds without a good woman behind him 💪. Wife or mother, if it is both, he is twice blessed indeed.
My granny was a preacher her church was called shady Grove didn't no there was a song of sady Grove.😊😊😊
How fitting, on a picket line in Kentucky a Louisville Slugger baseball bat was called into service.
Sad thing is it was all so true. Holly was magnificent as Ruby, can't say enough. Star of his show and Ruby star of that one, whatever her name was.
A grandson of dirt farmers out of Oklahoma ,,, the heart of a man shows when everything's being taken from him ,, today this move is a snapshot in history built in blood and sacrifice .. thank you to all the family's and lost for that sacrifice
Holly Hunter is so cute. Miners in Wales used to do it tough. My grandfather was in the mine at 6 years old.
She is cute and a great little actress but I do not believed she combed or washed that stringy greasy looking hair once in the whole movie. I grew up in the south and know most ladies, though poor, always took pride and combed their hair every morning.
@@loisaustin6200 funny you say that, her hair did look as you say
Excellent -- thanks for the upload!!
Watching from West Coast New Zealand - my nanna was the Miners Wives group founder here in little old Westport New Zealand . .
Thank you for the upload, I've never heard of this movie before. There is one of the greatest documentary movies on this same subject "HARLAN COUNTY USA" made in 1976, it won many awards and is always on lists of the greatest documentaries ever, it is heartbreaking and uplifting to watch the real people at the time who lived through this. It is available for free on youtube and should be mandatory viewing for children in the USA so they understand the history of what working class people have been subjected to and our history.
Awesome movie. Thank you for the upload
My name is Peggy Lynn Smith I was a Melton then I was born February 14,1968 in Harlan county Kentucky my dad and papaw both worked in the mines my papaw is dead from black lung and bone cancer I live in Corbin Kentucky now but I'll never forget my childhood in Harlan I was 14 when we moved here to cobin most my family is gone and I miss them so bad God bless you and thank you for this precious 💞🥰 movie
Great movie, Solidarity Forever!!
Holly Hunter is my favorite actress
What an amazing movie! Thank you from Outback Australia (from a Silver Mining Town...)
What a hard life they lived. And I am grateful I didn't have to live it.
my family had a lot of miners in it i live about a hour an 30 min from harlin i rember the strike that happend in the 1970s thanks
Thank you for sharing this. .
Great movie!!
Well put together historical film, solid script and acting. Intriguing knowledge, time well spent, subscribed. Merce Screen Blaze .
Bare's truth to many things older Brits told us when we were kids. Must have been the many conversations with U S service personnel over one hundred years and seversl generations. Shared experience.
Excellent movie - Thanks!
When you stand up for what you believe in somebody somewhere we'll see you !
Very good movie. Thank you.
An incredibile mobile..a wonderful cast. But more much than that...1973, I can to New York for the first time, an 18year old ...I fell in love with what I thought was your Country...I didn't know the dark side yet and I wouldn't for many years.
The facts so perfectly told in this film I never learned, one of your better kept secrete from the rest of the world. We thought you all so shiny and bright, we thought you were the future, meanwhile you had your own real life Hunger Games going on. I now wonder what deep dark secrets your hiding today....
Make no mistake. We are as corrupt as any other country in the world.
Great movie thank you
Thank you.
For all those who think this is how mining works today or has worked for many decades youre all clearly misinformed. Put some respect on those mens name that came b4 to make the industry what it is today rather than crying about how life is unfair or was unfair to them like they didnt know. They still did better than most in many ways and current generations are also reaping what they sewed 10 fold+. Thats how life naturally is and they knew it better than most ppl.
God Bless them for keeping the lights on and making everyones lives better who benefits from it. 🙏
terrific movie
my husband was a miner , he got cancer .
You might appreciate another movie about mining, called "Margaret's Museum", set in Nova Scotia's coal country. Margaret is a young wife who goes a bit crazy when her young husband dies in the mine. She sets up a small road side museum filled with body parts of men who died in the mine - a black lung here, a crushed leg there, somebody's penis over there. The final scene is an unsuspecting tourist couple who think the museum is so quaint from the outside , until they go in and see what's inside.
EXCELENT MOVIE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
" this little light of mine " 💜
Ten years doing union work will change my life. Make sure you appreciate the Men women And children.
Who buys their solidarity changed A piece of the pie
Brought tears to my eyes. There is no sadder story than that of the coal mining family. What gets me is women have always led the way and yet men still deny us the ERA. Oh the men want their equal rights but they won't fight for us women the way we have fought for the men.
Best part of the whole movie was when she gave him the moon shine. I tried it once in the hills of Ashville NC and OMG it'll take the paint off your car if it's good. 🙂 Holly Hunter did for this part what Sally Field did for Norma Ray.
GREAT MOVIE!
todays women want special rights they want to be [aid the same but dont want to do their share of the work
Harlan KY is a BEAUTIFUL place... I used to live there
What a awesome movie thanks for sharing!
Good Movie,, i had Family and Friends that worked in those Mines,, Good Hard Working People..
We call them scabs in Australia also😊🇦🇺
Holly Hunter , awesome actress.
Got a best actress Oscar 1993
Holly hunter is perfect in this part. She hasn't been in anything for many years. I would like to see her in something again at some point.
The movie was filmed 21 years ago.
@@patriciawickholm3617 yes she looked great back then. She evenlookedgreat in her more recent films. Luvto see her doingsomeacting again..... 😄
@@aliray1868 Did she really do all her recent movies in one week? I know we all seriously enjoyed learnin's this film delivered.
@@rodclark5831 I am not sure 😕
Excellent movie and great actors! The miners of America have always worked in the harshest conditions with little pay and no benefits that kept them dirt poor all of their lives. Shame on the mine owners and their stock holders, they are without a shred of compassion in their hearts for their fellow man.
Powerful 🙌🏾
Brilliant! Thankyou
Not even halfway through and I’m so upset I can’t hardly watch this. This is such an atrocity what these good people had to go through. And the acting is spot on!
Very good movie. Thanks for posting!
@pat, that's crazy. How long did he work in the mine?
it still goes on today... in many fields of work.
Wonderful movie.......
Great history. Thankyou. God bless you.
Which version of Shady grove is this? I haven't been able to find it here, every other version on youtube is too fast and upbeat
Very educational, I never had any idea how badly these coal miners and their families suffered.... Very Good film. Although it was very sad in some parts, the outcome was satisfying. HOLLY hUNTER NAILED IT. I grew up in the deep south, the 70s were like that. I can understand the lingo well. Great movie!!!
My late husband was born in Harlan to a coal miner. My daddy worked the mines in Pike county. I'm the 7th child of 9, as was my husband. We heard many stories of bloody Harlan.
GOOD OL BLUE GRASS.
Ted Levine is a National Treasure. He's one of the finest actors of the last hundred years and the next. Holly Hunter is tough and lovely.
The scene where the father is mad about his son seeing the inside of a jail. Broke my heart and it had popped into my head over the the years for some reason.
Absolutely fabulous movie i wept in the end 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻🇬🇧🇬🇧👋
Great Movie!!!! 👍👍👍👍
Holly Hunter is just the best! One of the few in Hollywood that actually has an accurate southern accent being she is a daughter of the south herself. Love her!
2nd time:but still I think some of us find our strength thru our Women.
I worked those young years in construction in MTL. real Ball Breakers.
I started not to watch this movie when i read what it was about but i am glad i did,great movie
excellent movie.
Very good!!
Oh my God I could never ever imagine this. Never it was so very bad so terrible. I’m speechless. There really isn’t no words for it. Wow.😢😮
Simply Love the movie (just had to let yaknow Blaze) 0,44, Min's in..... Every good man just needs a Better Woman. And he can good thru anything!! God help those that choose with the wrong head, tho..
Thanks
Thanks Blaze, nice to know your tending to your station..
I worked as a newspaper editor in West "by God" Virginia back in the early 2000s and this movie hit the nail on the head....I cant even imagine the horror these women felt when the alarm bells rang at the coal mine....those poor men, stuck working a job that slowly kills them with black lung disease...
Good movie. Holly Hunter movie. I've known some coal miners and lots of Kentucky folks so I found the film very interesting.
This was good
