Bisbee '17
It's 2017 in Bisbee, Arizona, an old copper-mining community just miles from the Mexican border. The community's dense area prepares to celebrate the 100th anniversary of Bisbee's darkest hour: the infamous Bisbee Expulsion of 1917, during which 1,200 striking miners were violently extracted from their homes, eradicated to the middle of the desert, and also left to die. Townspeople confront this fierce, misunderstood past by organizing significant recreations of the rising strike. These dramatized scenes are based on subjective versions of the story as well as "routed," in a feeling, by homeowners with conflicting sights of the event. Deeply personal segments torn from family history build towards a massive restaging of the deportation itself on the specific day of its 100th wedding anniversary.
