Decision List: STILL TIME TO PHONEBANK!

Still time to pitch in and work a phone bank. These last few hours are critical!

One of those classic labor films. A story told in dark hues about our history and our present. The story of people determined to organize and the dangers they confront. Good and evil, courage and cowardice drawn in the fine lines of an old master. From the director of "Brother From Another Planet" this is the type of story that your grandfather could tell. A powerful cast including; Chris Cooper, James Earl Jones, Mary Mcdonall, Will Oldham and David Strathaim.
From IMDB.com: Mingo County, West Virginia, 1920. Coal miners, struggling to form a union, are up against company operators and gun thugs; Black and Italian miners, brought in by the company to break the strike, are caught between the two forces. Union activist and ex-Wobbly Joe Kenehan, sent to help organize the union, determines to bring the local, Black, and Italian groups together. Drawn from an actual incident; the characters of Sid Hatfield, Cabell Testerman, C. E. Lively, and Few Clothes Johnson were based on real people. Written by Susan C. Mitchell {susanm@indirect.com}
