Greene has made a hard movie to argue with, even as he invites you to do exactly that. Full Review

Rating: 3.5/4 -- A fierce and timely work, haunted by the sins of America's past that echo the atrocities of its present. Full Review

[A] bracing documentary that blends fiction and reality in ways that both complicate and enhance the material’s core themes....It's an investigation into memory, intolerance, corporate-labor conflicts and race relations that’s as audacious as it is timely...

When a film takes a moment in history previously unknown to most and turns it into a riveting, compelling film that breaks all bounds of what we think we know about documentaries, you've got a winner on your hands. Full Review

Product Description:

Sundance award winning director Robert Greene's docudrama features a re-enactment of the Bisbee Deportation. In 1917, 1,200 immigrant miners were abducted by an armed vigilante force from the old mining town along the Mexico-Arizona border and left to die in the middle of the desert. A century later, present-day townspeople re-enact the events leading up to the historic miner's strike and illegal deportation to come to terms with the town's dark past.
