Mexican-American miners in New Mexico go on strike. When a court order stops the men from picketing, the women take over the line, and change their homes as well as the strike. Made by blacklisted filmmakers with real miners and their families, and kept out of American cinemas for years.
In English and Spanish, about 1 hour 32 minutes, with English subtitles (press CC). The film is in the public domain.
How it works: the film plays right here on this page at 5:00 PM IST, for everyone at the same time. If you arrive late, you join where the film is, like live TV. Chat along in the comments while you watch, and stay after the end to talk about it. Free for verified members of the Reading Room (joining is free); sign up to get a reminder an hour before.
