Returning to the screen in restored 35mm print, HARLAN COUNTY, U.S.A. chronicles a fiercely contested labour battle in Kentucky during the early 1970s ⛏️ Barbara Kopple’s directorial debut premiered at the very first “Festival of Festivals” (as TIFF was called back then). Having only been completed one month prior, the film joined the lineup so late that it missed the printed programme guide. The film will screen as part of The TIFF Story in 50 Films, presented by @airfrance. #TIFF50 | TIFF
