SUMMARY:Westray
DESCRIPTION:United Steel Workers Saskatoon\, Women of Steel invite you to a

 nIn this feature documentary\, filmmaker Paul Cowan offers an innovative\,
  moving account of the Westray coal mine disaster that killed 26 men in No
 va Scotia on May 9\, 1992. The film focuses on the lives of three widows a
 nd three miners lucky enough not to be underground that day when the metha
 ne and coal dust ignited. But their lives were torn apart by the events. M
 eet some of the working men\, who felt they had no option but to stay on a
 t Westray. And wives\, who heard the rumours\, saw their men sometimes blo
 odied from accidents and stood by them\, hoping it would all turn out all 
 right. This is a film about working people everywhere whose lives are ofte
 n entrusted to companies that violate the most fundamental rules of safety
  and decency in the name of profit.\n\n"The power of the subject matter is
  undeniable\, and there is some amazing footage of the post-explosion inqu
 est\, in which the buck is callously passed between every level of the min
 e's management team." - Adam Nayman\, Eye Weekly\n\n2002 Genie Award\, Bes
