its a story based on the Battle of Matewan in West Virginia in 1920 about the local coalmine workers trying to unionize the workers for better conditions.

theres some great music in it too and even stars a very young William Oldham as a preacher

Yep - interesting like all John Sayles films - I've got it on VHS.

It didi crop up a few times on Movies4Men bizarrely enough (they do have a few good things from time to time)

Saw it when it first came out ... late 80s? :? and remember it being pretty powerful.

There was another great film about Joe Hill (bloke that song, "I dreamt I saw Joe Hill last night") that I remember seeing about the same time ... but that might have been on video ... anyhow see it if you can.
