John (JJ) Cardillo Jr. on Instagram: "Last night, I saw Harlan County, U.S.A (1976) on 35mm at @tiff_net, it’s an astonishing documentary and one of the most inspiring pieces of cinema I’ve ever seen. The miners of Harlan County voted to join the UMWA, when their bosses refused to recognize the union, the workers went on strike. The strike lasted over a year and resulted in a victory for the miners. Barbara Kopple’s film is spectacular in its depth and the way it honours the people of Harlan Cou
