Matewan - 1987

Mingo County, West Virginia, 1920. Coal miners, struggling to form a
union, are up against company operators and the gun thugs of the
notorious Baldwin-Felts detective agency. Black and Italian miners,
brought in by the company to break the strike, are caught between the
two forces. UMWA organizer and dual-card Wobbly Joe Kenehan determines
to bring the local, Black, and Italian groups together. While Kenehan
and his story are fictional, the setting and the dramatic climax are
historical; Sid Hatfield, Cabell C. Testerman, C. E. Lively and the
Felts brothers were real-life participants, and 'Few Clothes' is based
on a character active several years previously.
