DISCOVER CHARLESTON

Acclaimed independent film director John Sayles and producer Maggie Renzi are teaming up with The West Virginia Mine Wars Museum to host a 30th Anniversary Film Screening of Matewan in South Charleston.

Filmed in the coalfields of southern West Virginia and featuring local residents as extras, Matewan captures a critical moment in labor history when miners across the state led a rank and file organizing drive that would change the course of labor relations in our nation for decades to come. This year marks the 30th anniversary of the release of the film in 1987.
