Ludlow (2012)

The epic story of Ludlow is based on the 1913-14 coal-mining wars of southern Colorado. To protest brutal working conditions, scores of miners went on strike and erected a tent colony in Ludlow. The colony was burned by The Colorado National Guard and more than a dozen innocent people, mostly women and children, perished in the “Ludlow Massacre.” News of the tragedy spread like wildfire across America, and the resulting outrage led to important reforms in America’s labor laws. Weaving in-and-out of these historical events is “The Poet,” a contemporary character whose presence creates an atmosphere of “time” itself.
