Matewan (1987)

 Story of a 1920 West Virgina coal strike that went integrated when Italin and black "scabs" joined in. Exceptional writting and directing by John Sayles. Strong cast includes Chris Cooper, James Earl Jones, David Strathairne, Mary McDonnell and Bob Gunton. This might be the best film about a union. ****
