Synopsis

In July 1913, twenty-five-year-old Annie Clements lives in Calumet, Michigan, a coal-mining town where men face perilous conditions for meager pay. The women of Calumet labor in the homes of the wealthy, constantly fearing the news that their loved ones will not return from the mines. When Annie decides to advocate for herself and her community, she finds herself challenging powerful forces, a task many believe is beyond her capabilities.
