Matewan (written and directed by John Sayles) dramatizes the events of the Battle of Matewan, a coal miners' strike in 1920 in a small town in the hills of West Virginia. In the film, Joe Kenehan (Chris Cooper, in his film debut), an ex-Wobbly organizer for the United Mine Workers (also known as the “Wobblies”), arrives in Matewan, to organize miners against the Stone Mountain Coal Company. Kenehan and his supporters must battle the company's use of scabs and outright violence, resist the complicity of law enforcement in the company's tactics, and overcome the racism and xenophobia that helps divide the labor movement. Sayles's film provides a window into the legal and social issues confronting the labor movement in the early twentieth century and into the Great Coalfield War of that period. I'm joined by Fred B.

Today's episode is about "Dixie Chicks: Shut Up and Sing", a 2006 doc about the (formerly Dixie) Chicks and the fallout from Natalie Maines' famous 2003 comment, "We do not want this war, this violence. We're ashamed the president of the United States is from Texas". The film was directed by Barbara Kopple and Cecilia Peck. Our guest for this episode is the music writer and podcast producer Dylan Tupper Rupert. We follow the band as they deal with the immediate repercussions of the statement and get a view of the social and political climate in the U.S. during the early days of the Iraq War. The movie takes us back and forth between 2003 and the band's 2005-6 recording of their next album, Taking the Long Way, and subsequent tour. The movie presents the Chicks as a trio with an unbreakable bond facing the first real challenge to their spectacular career. While the focus is on "the comment" and what follows, the movie also gives us an opportunity to appreciate the Chicks' incredible catalog of hits and undeniable musicianship.

Following Paul's choice, The Grapes of Wrath (1940), Corey wanted to choose a film they both knew they'd get to eventually – Harlan County, USA (1976). The film is a documentary which focuses primarily on the Brookside miners' strike in 1973, against Duke Power Company-owned Eastover Coal Company's Brookside Mine and Prep Plant in Harlan County, Kentucky. The film won an Academy Award for Best Documentary, and Corey himself declared it "one of the best documentaries ever made." There is a lot to discuss, from the career of director Barbara Kopple to the 1968 and 1972 UMWA elections to the ins-and-outs of a strike to the heroism of the strikers and their wives to Marx's Law of Value (a.k.a. Labor Theory of Value).

He gained widespread recognition as the creator and subject of A Murder in Mansfield, a film directed by two-time Oscar winner Barbara Kopple. Collier's passion for storytelling was sparked by his own traumatic childhood experience: the pre-meditated murder of his mother by his psychopath father. He uses film and podcasting to creatively express and deal with this trauma and as a platform to give a voice to others who have faced similar circumstances. Collier hosts the award-winning  Moving Past Murder podcast, which offers his unique perspective on surviving true crime and overcoming adversity. He interviews guests who have experienced or overcome tremendous life challenges and hopes the show serves as a form of therapy and reconciliation for himself and his listeners.

Résumé Encore une fois, c'est outre atlantique qu'une Histoire du Rythme va passer l'heure à pavaner à travers un style bien de chez eux : la musique country ! Mais ce style de musique va au-delà de son usage réconfortant, s'en est devenu un véritable dogme identitaire au fil des décennies. Que ce soit pour le meilleur comme pour le pire. Et si la country a une sale réputation sur le dos, c'est qu'elle représente surtout les fameux quakers et autres cow-boys blancs du midwest et des grandes plaines. Vous savez, ces beaux paysages de champs, de marais et de montagnes que l'on voit dans les films. Le bémol, c'est que derrière cet idéal se cache une population conservatrice, patriote et fier de ses idéaux. Mais réduire la musique country et ses adorateurs à une analyse si rapide ne lui rendrait pas hommage. C'est pour ça que dans Une Histoire du Rythme, on s'est permis de se poser une question : La musique country est-elle nécessairement de droite ? N'y a-t-il pas des auditeurs et auditrices moins conservateurs ou bien des groupes féministes ?

He was 12, his mother was murdered by his father: He asked his future self for help. Today, Jessica McKinley is joined by Collier Landry, the host of the true-crime podcast, Moving Past Murder. They talk about what it means to have integrity and resilience while facing trauma. And how someone can navigate the boundaries between a personal story and business, and the angles that show how the impacts of crimes against life don't simply end with court verdicts. In this episode you will learn: Behind the murder in Mansfield The point of the show, Moving Past Murder How Collier found the courage to move past his trauma and start his business The boundaries between trauma and business Collier Landry – on growing up in front of an audience There is distance between who you are and your circumstances About Collier Landry: As the creator and subject of Investigation Discovery's A Murder in Mansfield, the documentary from two-time Oscar-winning director Barbara Kopple, a formally trained musician and photographer, he segued into filmmaking as a means to creatively express and deal with his own traumatic childhood story - the premeditated murder of his mother Noreen by his own father, Dr. John F. Boyle, Jr. - and to give a narrative voice to others in similar circumstances.   At the age of 12, Collier witnessed the murder and chose to go to the police. After his father's arrest, he was abandoned by both sides of his family over the heinous crime and orphaned into the foster-care system. His mother's son at heart, this determined and stubborn child stood his ground and faced down his father as the prosecution's key witness during the month-long murder trial. In the film, Collier returns to Ohio to retrace his past and confront his father, who, almost 30 years later, still remains incarcerated and in denial of his guilt. The film explores not only the collateral damage of violence and its traumatic repercussions but the beauty of human strength and resilience through seemingly insurmountable odds.   Connect with Collier Landry on:  Instagram:       https://www.instagram.com/collierlandry/?hl=en Listen to the Moving Past Murder Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/moving-past-murder/id1551076031  Catch up with Coach Jess and Sincerely, Future You on: Website:          https://www.whatshappyning.com/ Instagram:       https://www.instagram.com/whatshappyningwjess/ LinkedIn:         https://www.linkedin.com/in/manningjessica/ YouTube:        https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC_Jf0PICsOH1HZJP97jrpng Get business and life coaching by Coach Jess through: https://www.whatshappyning.com/workwithjess Book your FREE Mini Session now: https://www.coachaccountable.com/offering/Pmcu5FLUdpOwYQLOJxfSYASkRyffKtJ Learn more about your ad choices.

Kopple talks about how she came to make a film about the failed 1980 mission to rescue American hostages in Iran—and humors Adam by letting him ask her questions about one of his favorite docs, 1977 Oscar-winner "Harlan County, USA." Plus, Kopple plays along with The Filmspotting 5.

In 1979, soon after Ayatollah Khomeini took power in Iran and the ousted Shah found shelter in the United States—to the great frustration of Iran’s new leaders—a group of revolutionaries attacked the U.S. Embassy in Tehran and took 52 Americans hostage. They were held captive there for 444 days. President Jimmy Carter announced that he wanted to resolve the situation through diplomatic channels, but later on he planned a secret military rescue mission. DESERT ONE is a fast paced as a thriller from acclaimed director Barbara Kopple. Kopple draws upon a wealth of unearthed archival sources, as well as intimate interviews with President Jimmy Carter, Vice President Walter Mondale, Ted Koppel, former hostages, journalists, and Iranian student revolutionaries who orchestrated the take-over of the American Embassy in Tehran—to meticulously reconstruct this defining period in history when U.S.-Iranian relations were on the brink of disaster. Illustrated with animations and lots of archive footage, the story focuses on the woefully unsuccessful rescue mission and the political wrangling in the background, culminating in Carter’s landslide loss to Ronald Reagan in 1980. Director and Producer Barbara Kopple, Ambassador John Limbert and Staff Sergeant Taco Sanchez joins us to talk about the roller coaster story that includes a game-changing sand storm, equipment failure, a deadly crash and a US President willing to take responsibility for a mission gone wrong. The fallout from the failed mission still hangs heavy over the fractured US-Iranian relationship.For news, updates and screenings go to: film/desert-one

Barbara Kopple and Face2Face host David Peck talk about curiosity, politics and historical unknowns, rich and complex stories, the magic of people, being better informed and why she’s always been a good listener.Synopsis: It has been called “the most audacious, difficult, complicated, rescue mission ever attempted.” Desert One uniquely blends emotion and bravado to tell the incredible tale of America’s secret mission to free the hostages of the 1979 Iranian revolution. Two-time Academy Award-winning filmmaker Barbara Kopple discovers a wealth of unearthed archival sources and receives unprecedented access, engaging in intimate conversations with many of the soldiers closest to the story, some for the first time, as well as President Jimmy Carter, Vice President Walter Mondale and TV newsman Ted Koppel.Evocative new animation brings audiences closer than anyone has ever gotten to being on the inside for this history-making operation. This is the thrilling story of a group of Americans working together to overcome the most difficult problem of their lives. Among those Americans is President Jimmy Carter, readying to face a re-election challenge when self-described student revolutionaries suddenly take power in Iran. Anti-American students take the U.S. embassy in Tehran by force and hold hostage fifty-two American diplomats and citizens.Using new archival sources and unprecedented access to key players on both sides, master documentarian Barbara Kopple reveals the true story behind one of the most daring rescues in modern US history: a secret mission to free hostages captured during the 1979 Iranian revolution.At a moment when tensions once again rise between the governments of Iran and the U.S., old wounds remain painfully current for many on each side who detail their recollections in Desert One -- but talk of hope also emerges, that the lessons of the past might finally guide us to a better future.About the Director:Barbara Kopple is a two-time Academy Award® winning filmmaker.

     The Holiday Cheer just keeps spreading! Like a fungus or sexy time communicable disease!     First up, Andrea Arnold's feature debut, Red Road. Made as the first film in the Advance Party series, a planned trilogy where each film was to be made by different first time directors and producers using the same cast and characters, the film focuses on Jackie Morrison (Kate Dickie) a Glasgow CCTV operator. One day a man from Jackie's past, one she never thought she would see again, appears on her monitors and kicks off a spiral of obsession and revenge.      Next up, brilliant documentarian Barbara Kopple's only fictional feature- Havoc. When bored, unaffected, culturally appropriative rich kids venture into the poorer areas of East LA a run in with a drug dealer will give one a taste for danger. Allison Lang (Anne Hathaway) reaches out for some connection, when she can't find it with her father or her boyfriend or the strange dude filming her as much as possible (no, seriously, the fuck was that all about???) and thinks she may have found it with Latino dealer Hector (Freddy Rodriguez).      All that and Tyler finds his inner voice just in time for the Carol Competition, Kevin becomes a disembodied time travelling voice, and Dave is very disappointed with some social aspects of both films.Join us, won't you?Episode 132- Mean-ish Streets

For this second episode of our current season we try something new with a look back at an important film from the past, Barbara Kopple’s 1976 Harlan County U.S.A., which won the 1977 Best Documentary Oscar. Why this trip down docu-memory lane? Two reasons: 1) our guest host this week is actually a guest historian, Betsy McLane, who not only knows just about everything there is to know about documentary history, but also knows quite a lot about Kopple; and 2) the coal miners of Harlan County, Kentucky, are once again on strike, gaining national and international attention over the summer. Plus ça change … And while we’re on the topic of great films about unions, we thought we’d also play a recent interview Chris did with directors Steven Bognar and Julia Reichert of American Factory, just recently released on Netflix, which tells the story of what happens when a Chinese glass company takes over an abandoned GM plant. It starts out so well, but then, well … you’ll just have to listen to our podcast and then watch the movie. Enjoy! Group Review Documentary: HARLAN COUNTY U.S.A.

A few decades and a whole industry removed from Barbara Kopple’s HARLAN COUNTY, USA, Steven Bognar and Julia Reichert’s AMERICAN FACTORY is an entertaining yet dispiriting illustration of how much working conditions, labor relations, and blue-collar work have changed — and, in some ways, haven’t.

The new Netflix documentary AMERICAN FACTORY is funnier than Barbara Kopple’s 1976 Oscar-winning documentary HARLAN COUNTY USA, and not nearly as fraught with violence, but it pivots on many of the same core tensions between workers and corporate bosses. In this half of our pairing of labor struggles past and present, we look back at HARLAN COUNTY to see how the time Kopple’s team spent embedded in Harlan County shaped the film, as well as the 1973 miners strike it depicts; how the film’s style reflects Kopple’s involvement with the Maysles brothers and direct cinema; and which of Harlan County’s colorful residents leave the biggest mark on the film. Plus, we respond to some feedback on recent episodes and go over some of the dozens of suggestions we got for 2019 pairings we received when we recently put the call out on Twitter.

Two-time Academy Award-Winner® Barbara Kopple (Harlan County USA, American Dream) follows Grammy-nominated R&B dynamo Sharon Jones during the most courageous year of her life. Often compared to the legendary James Brown because of her powerful and energetic performances, Sharon Jones is no stranger to challenge. For years her music career struggled as she was kept in the wings by a music industry that branded her “too short, too black, too fat.” After decades of working odd jobs, from abarbara-kopple-photo corrections officer to a wedding singer, Sharon had a middle-aged breakthrough after joining forces with Brooklyn R&B outfit The Dap-Kings. In 2013, on the eve of the release of the much-anticipated album Give the People What They Want, Sharon was diagnosed with a life-threatening illness. Miss Sharon Jones! is a triumphant crowd-pleaser that captures an irrepressible human spirit as she battles back to where she belongs; center stage.
