Harlan County USA 4K Ultra HD + Blu-ray presents Barbara Kopple’s landmark Academy Award-winning documentary — a gripping and deeply human portrait of labor resistance, solidarity and survival in the coal-mining communities of Kentucky.

Filmed over the course of a brutal thirteen-month strike, the documentary follows miners and their families as they battle unsafe working conditions, union suppression and violent intimidation from strikebreakers, police and company enforcers. Through unprecedented frontline access, Kopple captures not only the escalating conflict itself, but also the emotional toll placed upon an entire community fighting to protect its livelihood and dignity.

Driven by unforgettable real-life moments and a haunting soundtrack featuring legendary folk and bluegrass musicians including Hazel Dickens and Florence Reece, Harlan County USA remains one of the most powerful and influential documentaries ever made — an unflinching chronicle of working-class struggle in America.
