A well-crafted worker's picture set in the subterranean world of Australia's coal mines. The film's docu-drama stylings capture the usual strike conflicts--those who play by the union rules versus the "scabs," and the hardened veterans versus the greenhorns. It's beautifully shot in a
gritty realism, but unfortunately it all seems so familiar.
