Overview

Based on one of the most consequential legal battles in American labor history, the film follows a woman who takes a job in a Minnesota iron mine during the 1980s and faces relentless cruelty from the men around her. When complaints go ignored and the abuse escalates, she does something no one expects: she fights back in court.
