This week, we discuss two films written and directed by John Sayles.
The first is Matewan (1987), an historical drama which depicts a tense labour struggle in 1920s West Virginia, where coal miners, faced with brutal oppression from company enforcers, unite in a fight for their rights.
The second is Lone Star (1996), a neo-Western which unravels a decades-old mystery in a Texas border town, as a sheriff investigating a skeleton’s discovery uncovers buried secrets that challenge his understanding of history and identity.
