Matewan

…

…fearless leaders that rally the cause. The use of sound, cinematography and mise en scene draws the audience into and helps define the struggle in Matewan. Sayles introduced characters you love, and characters you love to hate. Even working with a tight budget the film succeeds brilliantly in developing unforgettable conflict. Danny Radnor states at the end that Kenehan will be with them always. Ideals from this movie will stick with a vigilant audience forever.
