Incredible film. One of the few times you can say a film/director is underrated (at least on reddit).
Trivia: although the ending VO states that C.E. Lively shot Sid Hatfield the year after the movie takes place, in actuality Lively shot Hatfield’s deputy, Ed Chambers, not Hatfield.
##Matewan (1987) PG-13
It takes more than guns to kill a man.
>>!Filmed in the coal country of West Virginia, “Matewan” celebrates labor organizing in the context of a 1920s work stoppage. Union organizer, Joe Kenehan, a scab named “Few Clothes” Johnson and a sympathetic mayor and police chief heroically fight the power represented by a coal company and Matewan’s vested interests so that justice and workers’ rights need not take a back seat to squalid working conditions, exploitation and the bottom line.!<
