HARLAN COUNTY, U.S.A.
TCM, 9:30 p.m. ET
This entry in TCM’s month-long Trailblazing Women salute to female filmmakers is Barbara Kopple’s 1976 documentary, Harlan County, U.S.A. It’s about a tense and often violent strike by coal miners in Kentucky – and if you’ve just purchased the complete series DVD set of Justified, you might want to watch this as a scene-setting appetizer. Or a perspective-offering encore. Either way, it’s worth it.
