Drama starring Academy Award winner Charlize Theron. When Josey Aimes (Theron) returns to her hometown in Northern Minnesota after a failed marriage, she needs a good job. A single mother with two children to support, she turns to the predominant source of employment in the region - the iron mines. The mines provide a livelihood that has sustained a community for generations. The work is hard but the pay is good and friendships that form on the job extend into everyday life, bonding families and neighbourhoods with a common thread. Encouraged by her old friend Glory (Frances McDormand), one of the few female miners in town, Josey joins the ranks of those laboring to blast ore from rock in the gaping quarries. She is prepared for the back-breaking and often dangerous work, but coping with the harassment she and the other female miners encounter from their male co-workers proves far more challenging.

This was quite a good film, it was a bit long and boring in parts but I think it's important people see it. It's based on a true story and was about a massive sexual harassment that happened to women working in the mines - and how they all accepted it until one decided to challenge it to get others to help her. It was well-acted but of course being a true story about harassment it was bleak to watch.
