DESCRIPTION:BUTTE, AMERICA: \nTHE SAGA OF A HARD ROCK MINING TOWN\n(67 minutes)  A New 
 Documentary - Directed by Pamela Roberts \nSat. November 6, 2010  - 8:00 pm 
 – One Night Only!!\nVictoria Theatre in San 
 Francisco\n\nhttp://www.butteamericafilm.org\nThe drop-down menu under

 Francisco based (now in Montana) Emmy-nominated, (ISHI: THE LAST YAHI) 
 Producer/Director Pamela Roberts’ new film BUTTE, AMERICA tells the epic 
 tale of Butte, Montana, once the world’s largest producer of copper, and 
 known as the town that “plumbed and electrified America,” "the 
 Gibraltar of Unionism," the “Pittsburgh of the West.” Co-written by 
 Eugene Corr and Edwin Dobb and narrated by Irish actor Gabriel Byrne, 
 BUTTE, AMERICA brings to life the saga of a world-class mining town where 
 corporate capitalism battled organized labor, Irish and other ethnic groups 
 came together to form a full-blown urban industrial dynamo, and human 
 appetite laid waste to land and water, yielding fortunes for a few and a 
 tragic environmental legacy for the people left behind. These people are 
 the heart of the Butte story - miners, their families, and the working 
 class neighborhoods they created. From battling mine owners to braving the 
 ups and downs of global markets to surviving death, injury, layoffs, and 
 shutdowns, they forged a community whose toughness, tolerance, and 
 solidarity embody the unique spirit of the place called “The Richest Hill 
 on Earth” and speak to what's increasingly missing in American life 
 today.\n\nBUTTE, AMERICA is a Rattlesnake Productions release, runs 67 
 minutes and is not MPAA rated. Plays in San Francisco on Sat., Nov. 6, 2010
