Coal
Węgiel, Poland, 2003, 27 min, Beta SP, Human Rights, Portrait, Society
It is a story of boys from Silesia who make their living picking coal along railroad tracks. Coal is the leitmotif of the tale. It is bread and butter, it gets you through another day, gives you a job and takes it away. Part of this narrative is another story, related to the mothers of boys who died on the track hit by a passing train.
