"A remarkable, passionate work. A reminder that there cannot be neutrals anywhere."

 

Documentarian Amy Nicholson (Pickle, Zipper: Coney Island's Last Wild Ride) joins us to break down all the ways this remarkable, Oscar-winning documentary broke new ground for the medium. From the struggles of the miners in the titular county to the trials of Barbara Kopple attempting to capture it all, hear how both the film's techniques and, tragically, its topics are still deeply relevant today.
