Matewan

Matewan is a film.

The year is 1921, and trouble is brewing in the town of Matewan: the workers have organised a labor union and have walked out of the mine. Enter Joe Kinhand, a former wobbly (dirty commie) and current union organiser for the United Mine Workers of West Virginia is riding a train when a group of miners attacks a group of black scabs. Baldwin-felts (Pinkerton detective) agents are called into end the union, and the stage is set for a massacre.
