Matewan CD 1 (NEW link) movie megaupload link.txt

This film, entitled Matewan, is about the coal miners in Mingo County, West Virginia, who worked in the coal mine just outside the town of Matewan (pronounced MAY-TWAN.) A labor organizer (and self-described "red"), Joe Kenehan, arrives in the town just as black and Italian "scabs" are being brought to replace striking coal miners who are fed up with the mining corporation's manipulation of the per-ton price of coal (at the film's outset, the price-per-ton is 90 cents!! Very low.) Eventually, the scabs stop working, too, and join Joe Kanehan's effort to unionize the miners. White, black and Italian workers overcome their racism and prejudice in order to organize themselves against the powerful mining corporation who has hired thugs from an agency called "Baldwin-Felps." these thugs are sent to quell the coal miners' unionizing efforts. The most sinister of these corporate-hired thugs, Hickey, evicts impoverished mining families from their homes, bribes and threatens the mayor and the sheriff of Matewan, and creates terrible tension between the miners and those trying to lead the unionization efforts. The worst problems arise when an informant infiltrates the group of miners and the majority of the miners resort to deadly violence against the corporate representatives. The final result is a massacre in which no one emerges unscathed. This film is based on solid historical events in West Virginia coal mining country, and it is a good film for educating both adults and young people about the sacrifices made by American laborers as they fought for unionization and, thereby, for the power of collective bargaining. The film opens with the voice of a narrator, who turns out to be one of the characters, Danny, who is looking back on this time of conflict in Matewan. The main points of view are Danny's and Joen Kenehan's. The acting is excellent and the characters are well developed. The movie was written and directed by John Sayles, and he plays a small part as as fanatical evangelical preacher in the community of Matewan.
