Summary:
Radically combining collaborative documentary, western, and musical elements, the new film follows several members of a close-knit community as they attempt to reckon with their townâ‚‚s darkest hour. In 1917, nearly two-thousand immigrant miners, on strike for better wages and safer working conditions, were violently rounded up by their armed neighbors, herded onto cattle cars, shipped to the middle of the New Mexican desert, and left there to die.
