bushwacked Posted October 29, 2009 Share Posted October 29, 2009 (edited) Saw this the other night on PBS, anyone else here in the tailgate catch it? Pretty damn interesting footage documenting the historical struggle of a town and mine workers vs. a boom and bust corporate operation that basically left the town with nothing more than a HUGH Superfund Site and HUGH history. My immediate roots are based in the town, so it was interesting to see some of the same bravodo of history passed down onto me expressed by the last remaining historical mine workers mirror the anecdotal outtakes of my parents and numerous cousins. http://butteamericafilm.org/butte-america/movie-trailer/ Edited October 29, 2009 by bushwacked Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
