DESCRIPTION:ANSWER Film Series- in celebration of May Day  "Harlan County, USA"  This 
 film documents the coal miners' strike against the Brookside Mine of the 
 Eastover Mining Company in Harlan County, Kentucky in June, 1973. Eastovers 
 refusal to sign a contract—when the miners joined with the United Mine 
 Workers of America—led to the strike, which lasted more than a year and 
 included violent battles between gun-toting company thugs/scabs and the 
 picketing miners and their supporters. Director Barbara Kopple puts the 
 strike into perspective—giving some background on the historical plight 
 of the miners and some history of the UMWA. 1976, 103 min.  $5 donation (no 
 one turned away for lack of funds)  Call 415-821-6545, for more info.
