Matewan

Written and directed by John Sayles, Matewan explores unions and coal in 1920 West Virginia. IMDB has a couple of great synopses to refresh your memory. There are some really nice performances tucked into this film, and Sayles wrote a book about film making based around this experience.

WOW - thanks everyone.

Lemme go wash away the coal dust and I'll be back in a bit with some inspiration.

It's coal and unions.
That's what the blurb I read said.
It's coal and unions.

So far, there are 3 entries. Throw yours in Sludge and let's get the voting done. After all, I don't want all of my hard work to go to waste.

Couldn't get the coal
dust out of my eyes. Then missed
the union meeting.

PS - great film! albeit not a great haiku inspirer

I tried to think one
up from the blurb on the net
but fell on coal face.
ChocolateLady Posted - 09/06/2009 : 12:30:15
Um... If I were you, I'd scratch it. Never even heard of it.
Sludge Posted - 09/05/2009 : 15:59:03
Scratch Matewan? Or is everyone watching it this weekend?
