Narrated by Gabriel Byrne, Butte, America tells the saga of Butte, Montana, once the world's largest producer of copper -the Pittsburgh of the West. Here the Industrial Revolution collided with the romance of the frontier, corporate capitalism battled organised labour, and human appetite laid waste to land and water, yielding fortunes for a few, and a tragic environmental legacy for the people left behind. Those people are the heart of the film -miners (many of whom came from Ireland, especially Co. Cork), their families, the working class neighborhoods they created amidst danger and hardship. In a copper crucible, they forged a community whose toughness and solidarity speak to what's missing in America today.Part of:
