Molly Maguire

In the late 19th century in the coal mines of Pennsylvania, an explosion ripped apart the fabric of immigrant society. Irish miners, fighting against the oppression of the mine owners, were accused of being terrorists and anarchists. They were spied upon, hunted down, tried and hung for murder. In the process, neighbor turned against neighbor — informants were everywhere — and loyalties were tested to the breaking point. Molly Maguire, written by Jon Lipsky, chronicles how one family, caught in the middle of the labor wars, is forced to choose between ties of blood and vows of honor. Carmel O’Reilly directs.
