| Summary: | "Dramatized documenary that recounts the epic human rights conflict between immigrant anthracite coal miners, turn-of-the-century industrialists and the United States government. The film blends powerful dramatic re-enactments with remarkable never before seen archival motion picture footage and photographs to reveal how America's ascendancy as the world's pre-eminent superpower was fueled by the extraordinary social and industrial impact of anthracite coal mining in northeastern Pennsylvania. Filmed entirely on authentic historical locations, and with a cast featuring legal legend Clarence Darrow and bully-pulpit president Theodore Roosevelt, Stories from the Mines is a unique film about a little known time and place that courageously launched America into the 20th century." |
