CarolinaM September 18, 2025A powerful feminist drama, it exposes the harassment faced by women in a male-dominated mine and the control exerted over them through economic power. When women collectively stand up for their rights, their voices speak not just for themselves but for a community, a value system, and everyone who believes in fairness and justice.

Bernadette_GravesSeptember 18, 2025Based on a true case of a miner suing over workplace harassment, this is an unflinching portrayal that’s hard to watch. Even with justice served in the end, the film’s depictions of abuse remain deeply unsettling.
