Based on the book by Ned MacDonald comes this engaging feature documentary that explores the history of the Inverness Coal Mines. After an abundance of quality coal is discovered in a remote settlement on Cape Breton Island, wealthy foreign developers and miners arrive from across the world to extract the black gold from the depths. As the years continue, exploitation of the land and workers challenges the survival of Inverness Town and its people.
Reviews
I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.
A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.
The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.
This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows
