RadicaIIy combining coIIaborative documentary, western, and musicaI eIements, the new fiIm by Robert Greene (KATE PLAYS CHRlSTlNE) foIlows several members of a cIose-knit community as they attempt to reckon with their town s darkest hour. ln 1917, nearly two-thousand immigrant miners, on strike for better wages and safer working conditions, were vioIently rounded up by their armed neighbors, herded onto cattle cars, shipped to the middle of the New Mexican desert, and left there to die. This Iong-buried and largely forgotten event came to be known as the Bisbee Deportation. BISBEE 17 documents Iocals as they pIay characters and stage dramatic scenes from the controversial story, cuIminating in a Iarge scaIe recreation of the deportation itself on the exact day of its 100th anniversary. These dramatized scenes are based on subjective versions of the story and offer conflicting views of the event, underscoring the difficulty of coIIective memory, while confronting the current political predicaments of immigration, unionization, environmental damage, and corporate corruption with direct, haunting messages about solidarity and struggIe.
