Herrin
Herrin is an American tragedy, the true story of the 1922 Herrin Massacre, which pit the poor, brutalized denizens of Williamson County against a struggling middle-class family and the underemployed members of the Steamshovelers' Union. Everyone wanted a community: financial security and a safe place to work. Steeped in gun culture and easy access to firearms, led astray by a steady stream of bootstrap, wealth-generating propaganda, and enabled by corrupt officials unwilling or unable to intercede, a conflict erupts that leads to the cold-blooded murder of 23 unarmed people. Which side are you on?
